فَلا عَفا اللَهُ عَن مَروانَ مَظلُمَةً

وَلا أُميَّةَ بِئسَ المَجلِس النادي

So Allah did not forgive Marwan's injustice,

Nor the Umayyads - evil is the assembly of the club.

كانوا كَعادٍ فَأَمسى اللَهُ أَهلَكَهُم

بِمِثلِ ما أَهلَكَ الغاوينَ مِن عادِ

They were like Aad, so Allah destroyed them,

With the like of what He destroyed the deviators of Aad.

فَلَن يُكّذِبُني مِن هاشِمٍ أَحَدٌ

فيما أَقولُ وَلَو أَكثَرتُ تَعدّادي

So no one from Hashim will belie me

In what I say, even if I enumerate extensively.
