1. Woe, then woe to Al-Bayyaz (the dismissed one)
Whose authority was stripped away

2. Dismissal is fatal poison for Al-Bayyaz
And being dismissed is the death of Al-Bayyaz

3. They said you were dismissed, and I said that is with consent
This consent is an enigma of enigmas

4. Oppressors over people, when they became tyrannical
Their dismissal by the Lord of people is the reward

5. After dismissal they gave you the name Caliph
They actually replaced the truth with a metaphor

6. You were not of those who would accept humiliation
Let alone reverence and glory

7. But it is the time of scoundrels, so you don't see
Among them a scoundrel who is prominent

8. Indeed when the injustice of the unjust exceeded limits
His steps became quick to accomplish

9. They dismissed you all from your positions for their own men
The competent, who deserve glory

10. O Al-Bayyaz, rule yourself and the wilderness
And judge the dunes and sands

11. As for returning a Caliph, that is far-fetched for you
Its matter is delusional, and know that it is false
