1. خَذَلَتهُ الأَنصارُ إِذ حَضَرَ المَو

    تُ وَكانَت وُلاتَهُ الأَنصارُ

    The Ansar forsook him when death came,

    though his protectors had been the Ansar.

  2. مَن عَذيري مِنَ الزُبَيرِ وَطَل

    حَةَ إِذ جا أَمرٌ لَهُ مِقدارُ

    Who will vindicate me against al-Zubayr and Talha,

    when a matter of great consequence arose?

  3. فَتَوَلّى مُحَمَّدُ بنُ أَبي بَك

    رٍ عَياناً وَخَلفَهُ عَمّارُ

    Then Muhammad, son of Abu Bakr, took charge,

    in plain sight, with Ammar behind him.
