1. Quraysh was an egg that cracked open
The pure part is for the slave of Manaf
١. كانَت قُرَيشٌ بَيضَةٍ فَتَفَلَّقَت
فالمُحُّ خالِصُهُ لِعَبدِ مَنافِ
2. The mixers, their poor with their rich
And the summer travelers
٢. الخَالِطينَ فَقيرَهُم بِغَنِيِّهُم
وَالظاعِنينَ لِرِحلَةِ الأَصيافِ
3. And the bedouins, though no bedouin is found
And those who say, "Come here guests!"
٣. وَالرائِشينَ وَلَيسَ يوجَدُ رائِشٌ
وَالقائِلينَ هَلُمَّ لِلأَضيافِ
4. Amr who broke the bread for his people
And the men of Mecca, dried-lipped
٤. عَمرو الَّذي هَشَمَ الثَريدَ لِقَومِهِ
وَرِجالُ مَكَّةَ مِسنِتونَ عِجافُ
5. Amr the Lofty broke the bread for his people
And the men of Mecca, dried-lipped
٥. عَمرو العُلى هشَمَ الثَريدَ لِقَومِهِ
وَرِجالُ مَكَّةَ مِسنِتونَ عِجافُ
6. And he who established the departure for his people
The winter and summer journeys
٦. وَهُوَ الَّذي سَنَّ الرَحيلَ لِقَومِهِ
رحلَ الشِتاءِ وَرِحلَةَ الأَصيافِ
