1. The people suffer under the rule of kings
The freed slave is much like the slave

2. No difference between our past and present
Except for hollow, cast words

3. Do not hope for humane guidance
Which rushes to the familiar and trodden path

4. Oppression is in its nature and temperament
So woe to the vanquished and miserable

5. Either resistance and death in the fray
Or appeasement and sealing of documents

6. So choose for yourself a plan you accept
Or enjoy the cave of the worn out ascetic

7. Tell me, by Khalid's grave, is there a battle
In Meisson like the Battle of Yarmouk
