1. إن بني معرقٌ كريم

    محببٌ في أهله حليم

    Indeed, my little son is of noble lineage and generous.

    Beloved among his kin and forbearing.

  2. ليس بفحاش ولا لئيم

    ولا بطخرور ولا سؤوم

    He is neither foul-mouthed nor base,

    Nor a weakling, nor one who quickly wearies.

  3. صخر بني فهرٍ به زعيم

    لا يخلف الظن ولا يخيم

    Sakhr of the sons of Fihr vouches for him.

    He does not disappoint expectations, nor does he flinch.
