The sons of Zubayr have attained glorious deeds,

لجت لأبناء الزبير مآثر

1. The sons of Zubayr have attained glorious deeds,
In generosity and unparalleled munificence.

١. لَجَّت لِأَبناءِ الزُبَيرِ مَآثِرٌ
في المَكرُماتِ وَبغرةٌ لا تُنجِمُ

2. So to the descendants of Zubayr, by their merit,
Excellent are the descendants in trying times for us.

٢. فَإِلى ذرا آلِ الزُبَير بِفَضلِهِم
نِعم الذرا في النائِباتِ لنا هُمُ

3. They are the disciples, to whom were apportioned
Indeed claims and efforts are apportioned.

٣. وَهُمُ الحَوارِيّونَ قَد قُسِمَت لَهُم
إِنَّ المَداعِيَ وَالمَساعي تُقسَمُ

4. The benefactors whose time of benefaction comes,
And the ambitious whose hands when fed.

٤. وَالعاطِفونَ تَحين ما مِن عاطِفٍ
وَالمطمعونَ يَداً إِذا ما أَطعموا

5. The pursuers whose greed the descendants curbed,
And the providers where is the provision.

٥. وَاللاحِقونَ جِفانهُم قَمَعَ الذَرا
وَالمطعمونَ زَمانَ أَينَ المطعِمُ

6. The preventers from digesting their neighbor
And the carriers when the clan is fined.

٦. وَالمانِعونَ مِنَ الهَضيمَةِ جارَهَم
وَالحامِلونَ إِذا العَشيرَةُ تَغرمُ

7. Generosity prevails among them, and among them are aid
And merit in discourse and appointed time.

٧. الجودُ غالبهُم وَفيهِم نَجدَةٌ
وَفضيلَةٌ عِندَ الخِطابِ وَميسَمُ

8. And if you cut them off you cut off stakes
And the judges of lawsuits in what they arbitrate.

٨. وَإِذا قَطَمتَهُم قَطَمتَ عَلاقِماً
وَقَواضي الذيفانِ فيما تَقضِمُ
