دَعوا آلَ عَبّاسٍ وَحَقَّ أَبيهِمُ
وَإِيّاكُمو مِنهُم فَإِنَّهُمُ هُمُ
Leave the House of Abbas—and their father’s rightful claim—alone;
and beware of them, for they indeed are
مُلوكٌ إِذا خاضوا الوَغى فَسُيوفُهُم
مَقابِضُها مِسكٌ وَسائِرُها دَمُ
kings: when they plunge into the tumult of battle, their swords’
hilts are musk, while all the rest is blood.
Sol 5.6
