1. ذَرِ الأَتراكَ وَالعَرَبا

    وَكُن في حِزبِ مِن غَلَبا

    Leave the Turks and the Arabs,

    And be in the faction of whoever prevails.

  2. بِجِلَّقَ أَصبَحَت فِتَنٌ

    تَجُرُّ الوَيلَ وَالحَرَبا

    In Jilliq, tumults have arisen,

    Dragging woe and war.

  3. لَئِن تَمَّت فَوا أَسَفا

    وَلَم تَخَرَب فَوا عَجَبا

    If they run their course—oh, what sorrow!

    And if it is not laid waste—oh, what wonder!
