1. Nay! I have seen nor heard of a day
Like the day of the people of the palace

2. A day every slanderer will believe
Or follower of the leaders of unbelief

3. Remember then the widows with no wealth
And prisoners in place of reward

4. If they were tested with other than prison
They would have patience even if chained on embers

5. With you, every confused one was guided
And with your justice, every gloomy one healed

6. Until he walked straight on the path of his ways
And knew though before he did not know

7. You took justice for us from your father
And removed from us all the greatly proud

8. Slow to anger when the oppressed reminds him
Turning away from the enormity of the reminder

9. We hope you will return to us
The ways of the successors of Banu Fihr

10. Uthman when they wronged him and shed
His blood on the morning of the feast day

11. The pillar of faith that leaned
On Umar and his companion Abu Bakr

12. And the two sons of Abu Sufyan when they sought
Uthman - they did not sleep dissatisfied

13. And your father for every calamity
Marwan, the sword of the faith and its traces

14. And your father when God showed through him
And illuminated us like the dawn

15. And your brother when God opened through him
And strengthened him with victory and aid

16. Successors who left their duties among us
And the good traditions of pure remembrance
