1. أَبا مُسلِمٍ ما غَيَّرَ اللَهُ نِعمَةً

    عَلى عَبدِهِ حَتّى يُغيِّرَها العَبدُ

    O Abu Muslim, God does not change a blessing

    bestowed on His servant until the servant changes it.

  2. أَفي دَولَةِ المَهدِيِّ حاوَلتَ غَدرَةً

    أَلا إِنَّ أَهلَ الغَدرِ آباؤُكَ الكُردُ

    Did you attempt an act of treachery under al-Mahdi’s rule?

    Behold, the treacherous are indeed your forefathers, the Kurds.
