1. يا حارِ لَستَ كَأَقوامٍ تَمُتُّ بِهِم

    فَاِلحَق بِأَصلِكَ مِن شِجعٍ إِذا نُسِبوا

    O Harith, you are not like the clans with whom you claim kinship.

    So join your own stock in Shijʿ when lineages are traced.

  2. إِنَّ العَرانينَ مِن كَعبٍ وَعامِرِها

    وَهاشِمٍ وَقَديمُ المَجدِ وَالحَسَبُ

    Indeed, the chieftains are from Kaʿb and its ʿAmir,

    And Hashim; theirs are ancient glory and ancestral honor.

  3. مِنهُم رَسولُ الهُدى وَاللَهُ فَضَّلَهُ

    ما في الأَنامِ لَهُ عَدلٌ وَلا كَثَبُ

    Among them is the Messenger of guidance, and God has favored him.

    Among humankind he has no equal, nor anyone who comes close.

  4. قَومٌ أَضاءَت لَهُ الظَلماءُ وَاِنقَشَعَت

    عَنهُ العَمايَةُ وَالأَهوالُ وَالكُرَبُ

    A people—the darkness grew bright for him, and there lifted

    From him blindness, terrors, and sorrows.
