أَفي قَلائِصَ جُرب كُن من عمل

أَردَى وَتُنزِعُ من أحشائي الكبد

In the worn cloak of deprivation act with integrity

Though it tear your guts and rip out your liver

ثَمانيا كن في اهلي وَعِندَهُم

مِنها فَعِندَهُما الفَقد الَّذي وَجدوا

Be with my family, though to them

I am but the profound loss that they have known

اخانَني اخوا الاِنصارِ فَاِنتَقَصا

مِنها فَعِندَهُما الفَقدُ الَّذي فَقَدوا

The Ansar betrayed me, broke our bond

To them I'm but the loss that they have seen

وَاِن عامَلَك النَصري كَلَّفني

في غَيرِ نائِرَة ديناً لَهُ صَعَد

And if the Nusayris put me through ordeals

With no flaming issue of faith to ascend

اذنَبَ غَيري وَلَم اذنب يكلفني

ام كَيفَ اقتل لا عَقل وَلا قَوَدَ

Another sinned, not I, yet I'm made to pay

How can I be killed with no sense or cord?
