1. اللَؤمُ أَكرَمُ مِن وَبرٍ وَوالِدُهُ

    وَاللُؤمُ أَكرَمُ مِن وَبرٍ وَما وَلَدا

    Baseness is nobler than Wabr and his father.

    And baseness is nobler than Wabr and what he begot.

  2. قَومٌ ما جَنى جانيهُمُ أَمِنوا

    مِن لُؤمِ أَحسابِهِم أَن يُقتَلوا قَودا

    A people who, whatever crime their offender commits, feel safe,

    Because of their lowly ancestry, from being killed in retribution.

  3. وَاللُؤمُ داءٌ لِوَبَرٍ يُقتَلونَ بِهِ

    لا يُقتَلونَ بِداءٍ غَيرِهِ أَبَدا

    And baseness is Wabr's disease; by it they are killed.

    They are never killed by any other disease.
