1. نَسيبنا الجنبلاطيُّ الكَريم سمت

    لَهُ مكانهُ مجدٍ دونها الشُهُبُ

    Our noble Nasib al-Jumblatti—there has risen

    for him a station of glory, beneath which lie the shooting stars.

  2. نجل السعيد العظيم المجد من قدمٍ

    يا حسنَهُ نسباً قد زانهُ حَسَبُ

    Son of Sa'id, whose glory has long been great,

    How fine his lineage, adorned with ancestral honor!

  3. من معشرٍ بلغوا في المجد قمَّتَهُ

    وادركوا في المَعالي فوق ما طلبوا

    Of a clan who reached the very summit of glory,

    And gained in high honors more than they had sought.

  4. تسنَّموا من رُبى لبنان ذِروتها

    لكنَّها قِمَّةٌ للمجد تُحتَسَبُ

    They scaled the summit of Lebanon's hills,

    Yet it is reckoned a summit of glory.

  5. وافت لَهُ رتبةٌ في المجد ساميةٌ

    طابَت بها اللُسنُ والآذان الكُتُبُ

    A lofty rank in glory came to him,

    By which tongues, ears, and books were gladdened.

  6. مَجدٌ على مَجدِهِ السامي أُضيف كَما

    تُضاف فوق مياه الابحر السُحُبُ

    Glory was added to his lofty glory, just as

    clouds are added above the waters of the seas.

  7. فَقُلتُ في يوم بِشرٍ ارَّخوهُ لها

    انتَ النَسيبُ اليك المجد يَنتَسِبُ

    So I said, on a day of joy whose date they recorded for that rank:

    You are Nasib, noble-born; glory traces its lineage to you.
