ألا أبلغ معاوية بن حرب
فقد أبلغتم الحنق الصدورا
Lo, convey this to Muʿāwiya ibn Harb:
O convey to Mu'awiya ibn Harb
for you have caused rancor to reach the breasts.
That you have conveyed the rancor in your chests
تقونَ بنا صدوركمُ المنايا
عست بكم الدوائرُ أن تدورا
You use us to shield your breasts from death—
You meet us with your death-bound chests
may fortune’s reversals turn against you—
May the cycles of fate turn against you
بحربٍ لاترى الأمويِّ فيها
ولا الثقفي إلا مستجيرا
in a war where you will see the Umayyad
With a war in which you see no Umayyad
and the Thaqafī only seeking refuge.
Nor Thaqafi except as a refugee
