Sol 5.6

  1. The people of Syria set their hopes on ʿAmr, while I

    surely set mine on ʿAbd Allāh when truths are put to the test.

  2. Indeed, Abū Mūsā will vindicate our right

    when he strikes ʿAmr with one of his thunderbolts

  3. and establishes it, until ʿAmr’s jugular gushes;

    and at that we shall be as furious as the most wrathful man.

  4. Yet no one can outstrip ʿAmr

    when the riders of the fleetest steeds race all-out.

  5. By God, what Iraq and its people will suffer

    from ʿAmr because of Abū Mūsā, unless he strikes him with calamities!
