1. وسلاتُ كم غرّ بمن أمّتهُ

    قُبّح بالمغروُر والغادر

    Wuslat—how often it was deceived by those who sought it!

    Shame on the deluded and the treacherous!

  2. ما معهُ من قوة منهمُ

    تُلفى ولا من درهم حاضر

    It has no strength from them

    that can be found, nor a dirham at hand.

  3. أما ترى تاريخهم مالهم

    من قوة معه ولا ناصر

    Do you not see their chronogram: ‘They have no

    strength with it, nor any helper’?
