سَمِعُوا الصَّلاةَ على النّبِيِّ تَوالَى

فَتَفَرَّقُوا شِيَعاً وقالوا لالا

They heard the prayer upon the Prophet continuously

So they dispersed into sects and said no more

ثُمَّ اسْتَمَرَّ على الصَّلاةِ إِمامُهم

فَتَخَرَّبُوا وَرَمَى الرِّجالُ رِجالا

Then their imam kept on with the prayer

So they were confused and men threw at men

يا آلَ حِمْصَ تَوَقّعوا مِنْ عارِهَا

خِزْياً يَحِلُّ عَليكُمُ وَوَبَالا

O people of Homs expect from its shame

Humiliation that will befall you and affliction

شَاهَتْ وُجوهُكُمُ وُجوهاً طالَما

رَغِمَتْ مَعاطِسُها وساءَتْ حَالا

Your faces have long been insolent faces

Though its sneezes defiled and its state was vile

إِنْ يُثْنَ مَنْ صَلّى عليهِ كَرامَةً

فاللّهُ قَدْ صَلّى عليهِ تَعالَى

If one prays on him as an honor

Then Allah has prayed on him, the Exalted
