1. If my comrades were the clan of Mu'awiyah
The people of southern Syria's palm trees
١. لَو أَنَّ أَصحابي بَنو مُعاوِيَه
أَهلُ جُنوبِ نَخلَةِ الشَآمِيَّه
2. They wouldn't have left me to the rabid dogs
Nor to a vile, deceitful betrayer
٢. ما تَرَكوني لِلكِلابِ العاوِيَه
وَلا لِبِرذَونٍ اَغَرِّ الناصِيَه
