أَبناءُ طَلحَةَ طابوا بالنَّدى مُهَجاً

أَبناءُ طَلحَةَ طابوا بالنَّدى مُهَجاً

إِذ طَيَّبَ المَجدُ وَالعَلياءُ محتِدَهُم

إِذ طَيَّبَ المَجدُ وَالعَلياءُ محتِدَهُم

The sons of Talha are pure of heart through generosity,

The sons of Talha have been scented with the dew,

Since glory and eminence have ennobled their lineage.

When glory and nobility have scented their gathering,

فَأَمسُهُم قاصِرٌ عَن يَومِهم شَرَفاً

فَأَمسُهُم قاصِرٌ عَن يَومِهم شَرَفاً

وَيَومُهُم حاسِدٌ في فَضلِهِم غَدَهُمْ

وَيَومُهُم حاسِدٌ في فَضلِهِم غَدَهُمْ

Thus their yesterday falls short of their today in honor,

So their past falls short of their day in nobility,

And, in their excellence, their today envies their tomorrow.

And their day is envious of their future in virtue.

صَغيرُهُم كَكَبيرٍ في اِقتِناء عُلا

صَغيرُهُم كَكَبيرٍ في اِقتِناء عُلا

مَن تَلقَ مِنهُم تَقلْ لا قَيتُ سَيِّدَهُمْ

مَن تَلقَ مِنهُم تَقلْ لا قَيتُ سَيِّدَهُمْ

Their youngest is like an elder in attaining eminence;

Their small one is like their elder in attaining elevation,

Whomever you meet among them, you say, “I have met their chief.”

Whoever meets them, says I have met their master.
