ملكَ ابنُ هندٍ وابن أروى قبلَه

مُلكاً أمّر بحَلِّهِ الإِبرامُ

The son of Hind's king and the son of Arwa before him

Ruled with the knotting of his firm resolve

وأضاف ذاك إلى يزيدَ وملكُه

إثمٌ عليهِ في الوَرى وعُرامُ

And the latter added to Yazid and his kingdom

A sin upon him in the world and evil

أخزى الإلهُ بني أميّة إنّهم

ظلموا العبادَ بما أتوه وخاموا

God has disgraced Bani Umayyah, indeed they

Oppressed the servants with what they came with and insisted upon

نامت جدُودُهُمُ وأُسقِطَ نَجمُهم

والنجمُ يَسقُطُ والجدودُ تَنامُ

Their ancestors have slept and their star has fallen

And the star falls while the ancestors sleep

إيمت نساءُ بني أميّةَ منهمُ

وبَنوهم بمَضيعةٍ أَيتامُ

The women of Bani Umayyaan have wept for them

While their sons are in a lost state, orphans

جزعتْ أميّةُ من ولايةِ هاشمٍ

وبكتْ ومنهم قد بكى الإسلامُ

Umayyah grieved over the rule of Hashim

And cried - and over them Islam has cried

إن يجزعوا فلقد أتتهم دولةٌ

وبها تَدول عليهمُ الأيّامُ

If they grieve, then a state has come upon them

In which the days revolve around them

ولهم يكونُ بكلِّ شهرٍ أشهرُ

وبكلِّ عام واحدٍ أعوامُ

And every month they will have months

And every year just years

يا رهطَ أحَمد إنّ من أعطاكُمُ

ولكمْ لديهِ زيادةٌ وتَمامُ

O family of Ahmed, indeed He who gave you

Has for you an increase and completion

رد الوراثة والخلافة فيكم

وبنو أمية صاغرون رغام

He returned the inheritance and the caliphate among you

While the sons of Umayya are humbled and submissive

لمتمم لكم الذي أعطاكم

ولكم لديه زيارة وتمام

The One who gave you will complete for you

And with Him for you is increase and perfection

أنتم بنو عمِّ النبيِّ عليكمُ

من ذي الجلالِ تحيّةٌ وسلامُ

You are the cousins of the Prophet, upon you

From the Lord of Majesty, greetings and peace

وورثتموه وكنتمُ أولى به

إن الولاءَ تَحوزُه الأرحامُ

And you inherited him and were most worthy of him

For loyalty is upheld by relations

ما زلت أعرف فضلَكم ويُحبّكمْ

قلبي عليهِ وإنّني لَغلامُ

I have not ceased knowing your merit and loving you

My heart is upon it and I am but a lad

أوذى وأُشتمُ فيكم ويُصيبني

من ذي القَرابة جَفوةٌ ومَلامُ

I am hurt and insulted because of you and am struck

By one of relation with estrangement and blame

حتى بلغتُ مَدى المشيبِ وأَصبحتُ

مِني القرونُ كأنّهنَّ ثَغامُ

Until I reached the extent of old age and became

From my burdens as if they are loads
