Has become congenial for us today, a place we frequent

Embracing the branch though it shows some restraint

يعتنق الغصن وهو يمتنع

With the vast, wide-open plains, a sight so pleasant

والمرج رَحْبُ النِطاق متسع
4. The river, flowing between branches so verdant
Its waves follow on, in constant movement

وموجه تابع ومُتَّبَعُ
5. The birds gathered on its banks, chirping with delight
Calling to each other, a euphonious regiment
٥. والطير جذلان في جوانبه
فصادحٌ بعضه ومنتجع
6. In a company whose glorious deeds
Are recited, exalted, and always lent an attentive ear
٦. في معشر لم تزل مآثرهم
تتلى بأوج العُلى وتُسْتَمَعُ
7. For they have partaken of the finest ancestries
And in the gardens of knowledge, they have long taken their share
٧. فهم لطيب الجدود قد نزعوا
وفي رياض العلوم قد رتعوا
