1. I have from the secrets of the tribe of Al Abbass
A sincere friend and chief
١. لِي مِنْ سِرِّ بَنِي العَبَّا
سِ خِلٌّ وَرَئِيْسُ
2. Glory bore witness of him
That he is a precious pearl
٢. شَهِدَ المَجْدُ عَلَيْهِ
أَنَّهُ عِلْقٌ نَفِيْسُ
3. He gives away possessions and money
Imprisoned by gratitude
٣. يَهَبُ الأَسْلاَبَ والمَا
لُ عَلَى الشُّكْرِ حَبِيْسُ
4. And when I sat with him, it was not known
Who of us two was the companion
٤. وَإِذَا جَالَسْتُهُ لَمْ
يُدْرَ مَنْ مِنَّا الجَلِيْسُ
