كَفَى حَزَنَاً أنَّا عَصَيْنَا إمامَنَا

عَلِيَّاً وأنَّ القَوْمَ طَاعُوا مُعَاوِيَهْ

Enough of sorrow that we disobeyed our Imam

Ali, and that the people obeyed Mu'awiya,

وأنَّ لأهْلِ الشَّامِ فِي ذَاكَ فضْلَهُمْ

عَلَيْنَا بِمَا قَالُوهُ فَالعَيْنُ بَاكِيهْ

And that the people of Syria have virtue over us

In what they said, so the eye weeps,

فَسُبْحَانَ مَنْ أرْسَى ثَبِيراً مَكَانَهُ

وَمَنْ أمْسَكَ السَّبْعَ الطِّبَاقَ كَمَاهِيَهْ

Glory to Him who made Thabir his place,

And who held back the seven heavens as they are,

أيُعْصَى إمَامٌ أوْجَبَ اللهُ حَقَّهُ

عَلَيْنَا وَأهْلُ الشَّامِ طَوْعٌ لِطَاغِيَهْ

Is an Imam disobeyed whom Allah made incumbent upon us

While the people of Syria voluntarily obey a tyrant?
