1. You praised Nuṣair for his band
And among his band the praiser is truthful
١. مدحْتَ نُصَيراً على زَمرِه
وفي زمره يصدُقُ المادِحُ
2. Yet a group contested his band
And said Ṣāliḥ resembles him
٢. فنازع في زَمرِه معشرٌ
وقالوا يشابهه صالحُ
3. So I said to them his band is the utmost
And Ṣāliḥ among his band is Ṣāliḥ
٣. فقلت لهم زَمرُه غاية
وصالِحٌ في زَمرِهِ صالحُ
