1. A saying of Umar to Ali, how magnificent in its speaker, how great in its utterer
I will burn down your house and leave nothing of it

2. If you do not pledge allegiance, with the daughter of Mustafa in it
None but Abu Hafs would dare say it

3. Before the horseman of Adnan, and its protector
Both have resolved for the truth

4. Neither to falter, nor for the truth to be secondary
So remember them both and have mercy whenever they are recalled

5. As the greatest of all, deified in creation by their veneration
