1. The heart has almost turned away from her
Words that changed poetry pour from her

2. O Zayd, O chief carpenter, there is news
Of what your people did to Uthman

3. And O Zayd I have a need to mention
I have not fulfilled it though our people wandered

4. I see them wearing a garment that will destroy them
And youths they did not look at wisely

5. O Zayd, can you before a perishing
Ignite the fire in their courts aflame

6. O Zayd, advise them with an opinion to live by
O Zayd, Zayd son of the carpenter self-contained

7. O Zayd, bring out the carpenter’s sons when blinded
And reject the factions of Ghassan who came later
