أَبلِغ مُعاوِيَةَ اِبنَ حَربٍ مَألُكاً

وَلِكُلِّ أَمرٍ يُستَرادُ قَرارُ

Convey to Muawiyah son of Harb, a king

And for every matter, a decision is sought

لا تَقبَلَنَّ دَنِيَّةً أَعطَيتُها

أَبَداً وَلَمّا تَألَمِ الأَنصارُ

Do not accept the lowliness I have given

Never and do not let the Ansar suffer

حَتّى تُبارَ قَبيلَةٌ بِقَبيلَةٍ

قَوَداً وَتُخرَبَ بِالدِيارِ دِيارُ

Until a tribe fights with another tribe

As firewood, and homes are destroyed in the lands

وَتَجيءَ مِن نَقبِ الحِجازِ كَتيبَةٌ

وَتَسيلَ بِالمُستَلئِمينَ صِرارُ

And a battalion comes from the pass of Hejaz

And the swords of the brave flow with blood
