وَكانَت أُمورُ الناسِ مُنبِتَةَ القوى

فَشَدَّ الوَليدُ حينَ قامَ نِظامها

The affairs of men were once a source of strength

But al-Walid when he rose destroyed their order

خَليفَةُ حَقٍّ لا خَليفَةُ باطِلٍ

رَمى عَن قَناةِ الدينِ حَتّى أَقامَها

A Caliph of truth, not a Caliph of falsehood

Cast off from the path of faith until he corrected it
