1. You praised a leader among his tribe
And among his tribe, the praiser speaks true
١. مدحْتَ نُصَيراً على زَمرِه
وفي زمره يصدُقُ المادِحُ
2. Yet a group disputed his tribe
And said he resembled the righteous
٢. فنازع في زَمرِه معشرٌ
وقالوا يشابهه صالحُ
3. So I said to them, his tribe's the best
And the righteous among his tribe stay righteous
٣. فقلت لهم زَمرُه غاية
وصالِحٌ في زَمرِهِ صالحُ
