1. يا هَرِمَ اِبنَ الأَكرَمينَ مَنصِبا

    إِنَّكَ قَد وَليتَ حُكماً مُعجِبا

    O Harim, son of the noblest in lineage,

    You have indeed undertaken a remarkable arbitration.

  2. فَاِحكُم وَصَوِّب رَأيَ مَن تَصَوَّبا

    إِنَّ الَّذي يَعلو عَلَيها تُرتُبا

    So judge, and affirm the opinion of whoever is right.

    Indeed, he who stands firmly above it

  3. لَخَيرُنا عَمّاً وَأُمّاً وَأَبا

    وَعامِرٌ خَيرُهُما مُرَكَّبا

    Is surely the best of us in paternal uncle, mother, and father.

    And Amir is the better of the two in ancestral stock,

  4. وَعامِرٌ أَدنى لَقَيسٍ نَسَبا

    And Amir is nearer to Qays in descent.
