1. نَحنُ بَنو قَحطانَ مِن جُذمَةٍ

    أَعمامُنا مِنهُ وَمِنهُ الخَؤول

    We are the sons of Qahtan, sprung from a single stock;

    our paternal and maternal uncles alike spring from it.

  2. وَجَدّنا هودٌ عَلى رَغمِ مَن

    عانَدَ وَاِستَغواهُ قالٌ وَقيل

    Our forefather is Hud, despite whoever

    opposed him, led astray by rumor and hearsay.

  3. مِنّا الَّذي سَنَّ النَدى حاتمٌ

    وَثابِتٌ منّا الخَطيبُ القَؤول

    From us is Hatim, who made generosity a tradition;

    and from us is Thabit, the eloquent orator.
