1. Yahya knew well the nobility of ancestry,
His own virtues succeeded those of his forebears.

2. He attained the heights of glory after inheriting it,
A lofty man whose star shines when it challenges him.

3. The freshness of his days is the beauty of his deeds,
Its diadems are his morals and fine qualities.

4. He is nothing but a brilliant full moon whose perfection is evident,
Whose splendor rises early while his glooms are late to come.

5. How can your neighbor spend the night dissatisfied
When your open hand is an ocean with the shore of generosity?
