1. Awaken from your angels, O thou who blamest
You have blamed enough, you who are past forty

2. Have not the events of the nights saddened you
That whiten the locks and the horns

3. If your soul is not admonished by the white hair
Then the preaching of the preachers does not benefit

4. Although I acknowledged my white hair
I resist when I meet the resistant

5. And I love that Sulayma tell me
And I tell her what we have met

6. I love the singing girl and I love the flute
The singers are dear to me even if they sang

7. And all the weeping of a quarter or graying
We weep for it, so they are our eyes

8. I love white hair when it was said a guest
For my love of the guests who descend

9. And we do not gain virtues by wishing
Nor by words do the doers become perfect

10. I greet the courage of the steeds of my people
And you were not greeted O city

11. If you are the Children of Israel
And you were proudly boasting of foreigners

12. Then do not forget the pigs which
Were transmuted with the despised monkeys

13. In Ayla and the Gulf they have customs
And traces of feet but we erased

14. And the search of the Read Sea is not the quest of danger
But we set out for our victory

15. Nizar knew that my people
Were foremost in supporting the prophecy

16. Some virtuous men purified themselves from us
And God's love is for the purified

17. And He revealed a verse that those who fight them
He will punish them by your hands in diverse ways

18. And disgrace them and give you victory over them
And heal the breasts of a believing folk

19. So if you said the Messenger of God is from us
Then Muhammad is for all Muslims

20. From which paganism did Quraysh emerge
And they were a confederation of liars

21. With this young Qurashi man we killed
Their ally, the Commander of the Faithful

22. And Marwan we killed for Yazid
Thus is our judgment upon the aggressors

23. And with Ibn Al-Simt from us we killed
Muhammad son of Harun the Trustworthy

24. We forcibly killed Al-Harith Al-Qasri
Abu Layla though he was a refined young man

25. So whoever's murder was in the market, we
Made the killing of the caliphs a religion
