1. جَلَّ المَقامُ عُلاً وَمقدرةً

    عن وافِرِ القُرُباتِ والنَّزْرِ

    The station, in eminence and power, is far above

    Offerings, abundant or scant.

  2. لكنها شِيَمٌ مُطَهَّرَةٌ

    بَسَطَتْ فقيرَ الحَيِّ والمُثْري

    Yet these are unsullied virtues

    That put the clan’s poor and wealthy at ease,

  3. كالبحرِ يَقْبلُ غيرَ مُفْتقرٍ

    بَلَلَ الرَّذاذِ وَوابِلَ القَطْرِ

    Like the sea, which accepts, though not in need,

    The moisture of drizzle and the torrent of rain.
