يابن الخلائف وابنَ كل مباركٍ

رأس الدعائم سابق الأغصانِ

O son of caliphs and son of all the blessed

The pillar of pillars, the foremost of branches

إنّ العلوج على ابن عمك أصفقوا

فأتوك عنه بأعظم البهتانِ

Verily the Al-Ulajj have clapped against your cousin

And come to you against him with the greatest of lies

قرفوه عندك بالتعدي ظالماً

وهم ابتدوه بأعظم العدوانِ

They have defamed him with you as an oppressor

While they started with him the greatest of aggressions

شتموا له عِرضاً أغرَّ مهذَّبا

أعراضهم أولى بكلِّ هوانِ

They have reviled his honor which refined

While their own honor is most deserving of abasement

وسموا بأجسام إليه مهينةٍ

وُصِلَتْ بالأم أذرع وبنانِ

And they attributed to him degraded bodies

While the Mother of the Two Arms and the Two Branches was created

خُلقت لمدِّ القَلْسِ لا لتناول

عِرضَ الشريف ولا لمدِّ عنانِ

To extend the robe not to violate

The honor of the noble nor to extend the bridle

لم يحفظوا قُرباه منك فينتهوا

إذ لم يهابوا حرمة السلطانِ

They did not respect his kinship to you and thus refrain

Since they did not fear the sanctity of the Sultan

أيذلُّ مظلوما وجدّك جدّه

كيما يعزَّ بذله علجانِ

Would you humiliate an oppressed man whose grandfather was yours

So that thereby the Al-`Ulajj would be honored

وينال أقلف كربلاء بلاده

ذُلَّ ابن عمِّ خليفة الرحمانِ

And the wretched of Karbala would gain his country

The humiliation of the cousin of the Caliph of the Merciful

إنّي أعيذك أن تنال بك التي

تطغى العلوج بها على عدنانِ

I seek refuge for you from that with which

The Al-Ulajj tyrannize over Adnan
