1. We descended upon Jacob, son of my father Haddu
Who showed us the virtue that has no limit
١. نزَلْنا على يعْقوبَ نجْلِ أبي حَدّو
فعرَّفَنا الفضْلَ الذي ما لهُ حدُّ
2. And welcomed us with good tidings, the villages rejoiced
No flesh remained that we did not obtain, nor butter
٢. وقابَلَنا بالبِشْرِ واحْتَفَلَ القِرى
فلمْ يبْقَ لحْمٌ لم ننَلْهُ ولا زُبْدُ
3. It is incumbent upon us to fulfill his due
And for him to receive from us righteousness, gratitude, and praise
٣. يحقُّ علَيْنا أنْ نقومَ بحقّه
ويَلْقاهُ منّا البِرُّ والشُّكْرُ والحَمْدُ
