1. If nobility graces a people,
Then the sons of Raheem were graced by it.

2. And he who knows their ancient repute—
Though noses scorn—they made him recognize it.

3. Competent stewards for kings in the way,
And a religion of honest counsel they kept it.

4. Abu Bakr vouches for them and for him,
With every sufficient guarantee when they commissioned him.

5. And nobility belongs not to a slave of Qann,
Whoever supports him, they soon dismissed him.
