1. قُل لعبدِ اللَّهِ يَشدُد في الهَرَب

    نَجم الثَّائِر مِن وادي القَصَب

    Tell Abd Allah to hasten his flight.

    The rebel has emerged from Wadi al-Qasab.

  2. يا بَني مَروانَ خَلّوا مُلكَنا

    إِنَّما المُلكُ لِأَبناءِ العَرَب

    O sons of Marwan, relinquish our kingdom.

    Kingship belongs only to the sons of the Arabs.

  3. قرّبوا الوَردَ المُحَلّى بِالذَّهَب

    وَاِسرِجوهُ إِنَّ نَجمي قَد غَلَب

    Bring forward the rose-red horse adorned with gold.

    And saddle him; indeed, my star has prevailed.
