أَقولُ وَزادَني جَزَعاً وَغيظاً

أَقولُ وَزادَني جَزَعاً وَغيظاً

أَزالَ اللَهُ مُلكَ بَني زيادِ

أَزالَ اللَهُ مُلكَ بَني زيادِ

I say—and it has increased my anguish and fury—

I say, and it adds to my agony and anger,

May God end the rule of the sons of Ziyad,

God has removed the rule of the sons of Ziyad,

وَأَبعَدَهُم بِما غَدَروا وَخانوا

وَأَبعَدَهُم بِما غَدَروا وَخانوا

كَما بَعَدَت ثَمودُ وَقومُ عادِ

كَما بَعَدَت ثَمودُ وَقومُ عادِ

And banish them for their treachery and betrayal,

And banished them for their treachery and betrayal,

As Thamud and the people of ‘Ad perished.

As Thamud and the people of Aad were banished,

وَلا رَجَعَت رِكابُهُمُ إِلَيهِم

وَلا رَجَعَت رِكابُهُمُ إِلَيهِم

إِذا وَقَفَت إِلى يَومِ التَنادِ

إِذا وَقَفَت إِلى يَومِ التَنادِ

And may their riding camels not return to them,

And their mounts did not return to them,

Once they halt, until the Day of Mutual Calling.

When they stopped on the day of calling.
