1. بِأَبي وَأُمّي غَيرَ قَولِ الباطِلِ

    الكامِلُ اِبنُ الكامِلِ اِبنِ الكامِلِ

    May my father and mother be his ransom—I speak no falsehood—

    The perfect man, son of the perfect, son of the perfect;

  2. وَالحازِمُ الأَمرُ الكَريمَ بِرَأيِهِ

    وَالواصِلُ الأَرحامَ وَاِبنُ الواصِلِ

    And he who resolves noble affairs through his judgment,

    And upholds kinship ties, and is the son of one who upholds them.

  3. جَمَعَ الرِئاسَةَ وَالسَماحَ كِلَيهِما

    جَمعَ الجَفيرِ قِداحَ نَبلِ النابِلِ

    He united leadership and generosity, both,

    As a quiver gathers the shafts of the archer’s arrows.
