اصبر يزيد فقد فارقت ذا ثقةٍ

واشكر بلاء الذي بالودّ أصفاكا

Have patience, Yazid, for you have lost one of great trust

And be thankful for the trial which has purified you

أصبحت تملك هذا الخلق كلهم

فأنت ترعاهم والله يرعاكا

You have come to possess all of these people

So take care of them and God will take care of you

فإِن رزي أحدٌ في الناس نعلمه

كما رزئت ولا عقبى كعقباكا

If anyone among the people is stricken with grief, we will console him

Just as you were consoled, and no consequence is like yours

وفي معاوية الباقي لنا خلف

إِذا نُعيت ولا نسمع بمنعاكا

And in Muawiyah who remains for us is a successor

When you are mourned we will not hear of your prevention
