1. You have become an arrow from Kinanah, hitting
The target of perfection and its slaughter
١. أصبَحْتَ سَهْماً من كِنانَةَ صائِباً
يَمْضي الى هَدَفِ الكَمالِ ونَحْرِهِ
2. The father of virtues, your ancestor who
Took hold of the secret of perfection, overt and covert
٢. وأبو المَكارمِ جدُّكَ الأرْضى الذي
اسْتَوْلى على سِرِّ الكَمالِ وجَهْرِهِ
3. He would not have been called "Father of Virtues" as a nickname
If not for you being lodged in his back
٣. ما كانَ يُدْعى بالمَكارِمِ كُنْيَةً
إلا بكَوْنِكَ ثاوياً في ظهْرِهِ
