1. Be gentle with Amr when you question his lineage,
For he is an Arab of pure descent.

2. He has dwelt so long in the forge of Haddad,
That he appears an Arab darkened in hue.

3. If baseness were found in the line of his sires in Mudar,
Then the coins of Bokhara would rank as golden dinars.

4. And clench your hand firmly on Hammad Abu Umar,
For he is a Nabatean of pure golden dinars.
