1. My hair has grayed while my children have not yet grown up
After frolicking, youthfulness and playing
١. شابَ رَأسي وَلِداتي لَم تَشِب
بَعدَ لَهوٍ وَشَبابٍ وَلَعِب
2. My forehead has whitened and there appeared
In my cheekbone, a beard like thread
٢. شَيَّبَ المَفرِقَ مِنّي وَبَدا
في حِفافَي لِحيَتي مِثلُ العَطَب
3. We are a people whom Allah has built for us
Glory above the houses of Arabs
٣. نَحنُ قَومٌ قَد بَنى اللَهُ لَنا
شَرَفاً فَوقَ بُيوتاتِ العَرَب
4. With the Prophet of Allah and his cousin
And with Al-‘Abbas, son of ‘Abd al-Muttalib
٤. بِنَبِيِّ اللَهِ وَاِبنَي عَمِّهِ
وَبِعَبّاسِ بنِ عَبدِ المُطَّلِب
