1. When I saw what happened, it enveloped me
And remembering Abu Al-Hakam brought me misery
١. لَمّا رأَيتُ الحادِثاتِ كَنَفنَني
وَأَورَثنَني بُؤسى ذَكَرتُ أَبا الحَكَمْ
2. Descendant of seven successive kings
They are the chosen ones, distinguished in generosity
٢. سَليلَ مُلوكٍ سَبعَةٍ قَد تَتابَعوا
هُم المُصطَفَونَ وَالمُصَفَّونَ بالكَرَمْ
