1. They are the eloquent Arabs, theirs is eloquence
Clear, with no blemish or fault
١. هم العرب الفصاح لهم بيان
مبين ليس فيه أقل وصمه
2. Their tongues are straight, so their eloquence
And poetry are a gift and mercy from Him
٢. مقيم اللسن فظلهم بيانا
وشعرا، منة منه ورحمه
3. Indeed in eloquence we have magic
And in verse we have wisdom
٣. وإن من البيان لنا لسحرا
وإن من القريض لنا لحكمه
