1. To the generous man whose hands
Were forces for doing good deeds

2. When praise was expensive he bought it
Never tiring or making others tired

3. Trustworthy, he keeps what he was entrusted
With what suffices the strong and noble

4. Abu Marwan, you are a young man of Quraysh
And their elder when elders are counted

5. The clan tasked him with what concerned them
So neither stinginess of arm nor miserliness

6. To you their hands point when
They intend or a grave matter befalls them

7. Each of his days is open-handed with kindness
And each of his afflictions is good and beautiful

8. He swayed with glory among Quraysh
His glory and noble lineage erecting him

9. A firm pillar that shakes wherein
Is the branch of the most generous growth
