1. أكمَامُ جُنِّبتُ لقاءَ الشدةِ

    ونلتِ محضَ الحُبِّ والمودَّةِ

    Akmam, I was spared facing hardship,

    And you gained pure love and affection,

  2. في كِبرَ إن كنت أو في جِدَّةِ

    أنتِ التى سُمِّيتِ باسِم جَدَّتِى

    Whether you are in old age or in youth.

    You are the one named after my grandmother.

  3. فَلَستُ اسمَعُ فِيكِ كلاَمَ الأُمَّةِ

    فِيكَ وَلاَعمٍّ صَغِيرا لهِمَّةِ

    So I do not heed the community’s talk about you,

    Nor, about you, [the talk of] an uncle of little resolve.
