فلم تحو الرياسة من بعيد
ولم ترث السماحة من كلال
You did not gain supremacy from some distant forebear,
You did not covet power from afar
Nor inherit generosity from the ineffectual and weary.
Nor inherit generosity from a miser
وما قصرت يداك عن المعالي
ولا طاشت سهامك في نضال
Your hands have never fallen short of lofty honors,
Your hands did not fall short of greatness
Nor have your arrows strayed in a contest.
Nor did your arrows go astray in battle
فأين لنا نظيرك من قريش
لقد بعدت يمين من شمال
Where among Quraysh, then, is there anyone to equal you?
So who among the Quraysh can compare?
Truly, right and left stand far apart.
Your right hand is far from your left
