الويلُ ثم الويلُ للبيَّازِ

أصدارُه رُدَّت على الأعجَازِ

Woe, then woe to Al-Bayyaz (the dismissed one)

Whose authority was stripped away

العَزلُ للبيازِ سُمُّ نَاقِعٌ

والعَزلُ فيه مَوتَةُ البيَّاز

Dismissal is fatal poison for Al-Bayyaz

And being dismissed is the death of Al-Bayyaz

قالوا عُزِلَت فقلتُ ذلِك عَن رِضىً

هذا الرِّضَى لُغزٌ مِن الألغاز

They said you were dismissed, and I said that is with consent

This consent is an enigma of enigmas

الجائرُونَ على العِبَاد إذا طَغَوا

فبِعزلِهم رَبُّ العِباد يُجَازِي

Oppressors over people, when they became tyrannical

Their dismissal by the Lord of people is the reward

مَنَحُوكَ بعَد العزلِ إسمَ خليفَةٍ

قَد أبدلُوكَ حقيقةً بِمَجازِ

After dismissal they gave you the name Caliph

They actually replaced the truth with a metaphor

ما كنتَ مِمَّن لا يُسامُ بِذِلَّةٍ

فضلاً عن الإعظامِ والإعزَازِ

You were not of those who would accept humiliation

Let alone reverence and glory

لكنَّه زمنُ اللِّئامِ فما تَرى

فيه لئيما ليسَ بالمُمتاز

But it is the time of scoundrels, so you don't see

Among them a scoundrel who is prominent

إنَّ الظَّلُومَ إذا تفاحَشَ ظُلمُه

كانت خُطاه سَريعةَ الإنجازِ

Indeed when the injustice of the unjust exceeded limits

His steps became quick to accomplish

خَلُّوا المناصبَ عنكمُ لِرجالِها

أهلِ الكفاءَةِ وَاجبي التَّعزَاز

They dismissed you all from your positions for their own men

The competent, who deserve glory

يا أيها البيازُ دُونَك والفَضَا

فاحكُم علَى الأبوَامِ والأبوَاز

O Al-Bayyaz, rule yourself and the wilderness

And judge the dunes and sands

أمَّا الرجُوعُ خليفةً فمُجَوَّزٌ

لكَ أمرُه واعلم بأنَّه هَازِ

As for returning a Caliph, that is far-fetched for you

Its matter is delusional, and know that it is false
