وَإِنَّ بِقَومٍ سَوَّدوكَ لَحاجَةً

وَإِنَّ بِقَومٍ سَوَّدوكَ لَحاجَةً

إِلى سَيِّدٍ لَو يَظفَرونَ بِسَيِّدِ

إِلى سَيِّدٍ لَو يَظفَرونَ بِسَيِّدِ

And indeed, a people who made you their chief are in need

Though some besmirch your name through need

Of a chief—if only they could find a chief.

For a master—should they gain one, they would take heed
