I'm amazed by those who crave my demise when they've seen

عجبت لمن يبغي مداي وقد رأى

1. I'm amazed by those who crave my demise when they've seen
The trails of my robe above the resting place of the eminent.

١. عَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ يَبْغي مَدايَ وَقَدْ رَأَى
مَساحِبَ ذَيْلي فَوْقَ هامِ الفَراقِدِ

2. I have a glorious lineage among the living that calls for pride,
A place of honor, of flowing virtue and sharpened blades.

٢. وَلي نَسَبٌ في الحَيِّ عالٍ يَفاعُهُ
رَحِيبُ مَسارِي العِرْقِ زاكي المَحاتِدِ

3. I have such excellence, that if I mentioned it,
It would suffice that I be adorned by ancestors and father.

٣. وَفيَّ مِنَ الفَضلِ الّذِي لَوْ ذَكَرْتُهُ
كَفانِيَ أَنْ أُزْهَى بِجَدٍّ وَوالِدِ

4. We inherited greatness, which was created for us,
And we were created for greatness and glory.

٤. وَرِثْنا العُلا وَهْيَ الَّتي خُلِقَتْ لَنا
وَنَحْنُ خُلِقْنا لِلْعُلا وَالمَحامِدِ

5. Father after father, from Abd al-Shams and so on
To Adam - we slept none but the glorious.

٥. أَبَاً فَأَبَاً مِنْ عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ وَهكذا
إِلى آدَمٍ لَمْ يَنْمِنا غَيْرُ مَاجِدِ
