1. I'm amazed by a group that we hosted
Who went to bed as commoners and woke up as Arabs

2. Like Abu Al-Saqr, for in him and his
Claim are amazing signs and wonders

3. While trying to cure his nature
When alchemy touched him, he was transformed

4. His blessed grandfather Arabized him just as
His grandfather turned tin into gold

5. And so these ancestors have
An elixir of truth that Arabizes lineage

6. O Abu Al-Saqr, time has changed for you
Your maternal uncle into a paternal uncle and your father into a father

7. Does God see you grateful
For the blessings He bestowed?

8. O Arab whose fathers were Nabataeans
O spring whose origin was foreign

9. You have so many fathers and mothers
That if they planted thorns, it would bear grapes

10. Rather, if they shook a shake, it would rain
Fresh dates from the head of this man and woman

11. They knew no tent, nor peg
No pole for it, nor rope
