1. أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّ طَلحَةَ في قُرَيشٍ

    يُعَدُّ مِنَ القَماقِمَةِ الكِرامِ

    Have you not seen that Talha among Quraysh

    is counted among the noble chieftains?

  2. وَكانَ أَبوهُ بِالبَلقاءِ دَهراً

    يَسوقُ الشَولَ في جِنحِ الظَلامِ

    And his father was long in al-Balqa,

    driving the dry she-camels under cover of darkness.

  3. هُوَ الرَجُلُ الَّذي جَلَبَ اِبنُ سَعدٍ

    وَعُثمانٌ مِنَ البَلَدِ الشَآمِ

    He is the man brought by Ibn Sa'd

    and Uthman from the land of al-Sham.

  4. هُوَ الرَجُلُ الَّذي حُدِّثتَ عَنهُ

    غَريبٌ بَينَ زَمزَمَ وَالمَقامِ

    He is the man you were told about,

    a stranger between Zamzam and the Maqam.
