1. أَبَيْتُ ويأبَى لي الخَنا طيبُ محتدٍ

    كريمٍ وجَدٌّ في العُلَى أيّما جَدِّ

    I have refused baseness, barred to me by goodly lineage—

    Noble—and by a grandsire high in glory—what a grandsire!

  2. وإنّي مِن القوم الكرام فعالُهم

    وانهّم يومَ الكريهة كالأُسدِ

    And I am of the people whose deeds are noble,

    And on the day of battle they are like lions.

  3. كفاهُم فخاراً في الأنام بأنّهمْ

    لآل رسول الله كالصَّارم الهندي

    It is glory enough for them among humankind that they

    Are to the family of God's Messenger like a sharp Indian sword,

  4. وأنهمُ أهل الولاء لحيدَرٍ

    وشيعتُه أهلُ المحبةٍ والودّ

    And that they are loyal to Haydar,

    And his followers, people of love and affection.
