1. No glory remains for me except my father,
And his righteousness in what he has undertaken,
١. لا مجد لي بتقى أبي
وسداده فيما سلكْ
2. And the dew of my grandfather who has made
The valley overflow with him and blood shed,
٢. وندى لجدي أفعم ال
وادي به ودم سفكْ
3. Like the testimony of a beautiful woman in
A house where destiny has settled me,
٣. كشهادة الحسناء في
بيت أحلَّنِيَ الفلكْ
4. This one has overcome the poets as a
Devil and the most gentle of them as a king,
٤. ذا أغلب الشعراء شي
طاناً وألطفهم ملكْ
5. So with this I wander when
The rich man wanders with what he possesses.
٥. فبهذه تيهي إذا
تاه الغنيُّ بما ملكْ
