1. I placed you not as one abandoned,
In her spacious home by a companion.
١. وَلَقَد وَضَعتُكَ غيرَ مُتَّرِكٍ
من جابرٍ في بَيتِها الضَخمِ
2. And I chose your mother from among their women,
And your father, chief of the protectors and brave.
٢. واختَرتُ أُمَّكَ مِن نِسائِهم
وأَبوك كلُّ عَذَوَّرٍ شَهمِ
3. So if you reject the gifts of a hundred,
You will surely accept agreeable and modest gifts.
٣. فَلَئن كَذَبتَ المَنحَ من مائةٍ
فَلَتَقبَلَن بِسائِغٍ وَخمِ
4. Generosity and excellence are our goals,
As well as our salvation, the path of one who protects.
٤. إنَّ النَدى والفَضلَ غايَتُنا
وَنَجاتُنا وَطريقُ مَن يَحمي
