1. May Allah reward me for the virtues of Hashim's clan,
Generous in advice, their nobility makes conversation delightful.

2. They are open-handed with kindness and hold back nothing,
So pardon them if they are blamed for their generosity.

3. They bring life with the good they do for a friend or foe,
And go about their affairs peacefully.

4. The flow of years cannot withstand their support
When the barren land is visited by its clouds.

5. Deft and shrewd in events and experiences,
Their swords gleam and their resolves are firm.

6. A young man whose hours are filled with noble deeds
Too confining for seekers when he holds audience.

7. As if a perfume seller emptied his flask,
And the pure original scent wafted forth.

8. He forgave and remained composed until he rose high,
His daggers in his time and his acts of mercy.

9. Seeing him, worries become delights,
And the stubborn age has its crimes forgiven.

10. So do not stumble at the minister's slippers,
For his strongholds are a refuge for the hunted.
