1. He inherited the caliphate from seven of his forefathers
Who ruled, each ascending to the highest pulpit

2. With the Lord above him, delivering sermons standing
Rallying the people with mighty rule

3. They inherited its counsel from Uthman
Which was the inheritance of our chosen Prophet

4. The pillar of your house was established among Quraysh
Among the most generous and the most numerous

5. Nothing compares to your hands, better than them
Where they joined and the seas overflowed

6. The winds stopped blowing at Al-Walid
When they raged with him, and the overflowing of his right hand did not cease

7. Who comes to Al-Walid's meadow and takes shelter in it
From fear of an injury that does no harm

8. The bestower of a hundred births, who trained them
For the valiant, and the one with the green mantle

9. So every neighbor ransomed you
And they guaranteed your covenant without breach

10. War and Yusuf poured in his basin
And Abu Al-Walid with the best of two basins filled

11. The two basins of Abu Al-Hakam which were filled for him
From the muddy Euphrates

12. Those who rebelled against the son of Affan
Did not quench their thirst from the most abundant drink

13. They were killed in every pass and town
With patience, and the tax of those who did not show patience

14. And the people know that we are their masters
When their pilgrims met ours at Mash'ar

15. And you see for them in Mina houses of honor
Whose edges the poles of the litters rose over

16. They stand waiting behind our backs
Until we turn away with a nose held high
