أَبى اللَهُ إِلّا أَنَّ صِفِّينَ دارُنا

وَدارُكُمُ ما لاحَ في الأُفقِ كَوكَبُ

God has refused all else but that Siffin be our home,

And your home too, as long as a star shines on the horizon,

إِلى أَن تُموتوا أَو نَموتَ وَما لَنا

وَما لَكُم عَن حَومَةِ الحَربِ مَهرَبُ

Until you die or we die; for neither do we have,

Nor do you, any escape from the thick of the war.
