1. Qahtan took pride that it had
The likes of Dhu Nuwas, Kulaib and Ru'ayn

2. Who ennobled the noble ones there before us
Every easy-handed generous man

3. Then Mudar made it equal in pride
Through Ali the pure of the two veiled ones

4. Two traits of glory and honor made us rich
Beyond Abu Ahmad among us and al-Husayn

5. Do you see a grandfather like my grandfather and father?
What glory and praise after these two?

6. A lineage like al-Nadhr in the middle
Of every lineage from the sons of al-Nadhr and 'Ayn

7. The light of horizons that illuminated what
Was between my two noble grandfathers and me

8. Firm in the clay of glory whenever
A high office made him smooth of step

9. With the position of a star he runs ahead of him
The brilliant horizon and the light of the two moons

10. Our deeds adorned our lineage
With the adornment of spears and the curvature of the bow

11. A lineage whose roots
Were firmly planted in Mina and al-Mazma'ayn

12. Lofty of neck, challenging fate,
Fresh of sweat, gentle of gaze

13. And with the glory of spirit my pride preceded
The surplus of pride with the glory of my parents
