1. غَسَلَ المَليكُ بِلادَهُ مِن أَهلِها

    بِالماءِ إِذ جاؤوا بِسوءِ شَنارِ

    The king washed his land clean of its people

    With water, when they came with evil knives

  2. وَيُقالُ إِنَّ اللَهَ جَلَّ ثَناؤُهُ

    يَوماً يُطَهِّرُ أَرضَهُ بِالنارِ

    And it is said that Allah, glorified is His praise

    Will one day purify His earth with fire

  3. كَم مُسلِمٍ عَبَدَ الهَوى فَوَجَدتُهُ

    فيما يُحِلُّ كَعاقِدِ الزُنّارِ

    How many Muslims worshiped passion, and I found them

    In what is forbidden, like knotters of necklaces

  4. كَذَبوا أَنِ اِدَّعَوا الهُدى فَجَميعُهُم

    يَسعَونَ في تيهٍ بِغَيرِ مَنارِ

    They lied when they claimed to be guided, yet all of them

    Wander lost, without a guide or minaret

  5. فَاِهرُب بِدينِكَ مِن أولَئِكَ إِنَّهُم

    حَرَبوكَ وَاِحتَرِبوا عَلى الدينارِ

    So flee with your religion from those people, for they

    Fought you and fought over the golden dinar
