قَضَت قُطُراً مِن أَهلِ مَكَّةَ ناقَتي

سِوى أَمَلي في الماجِدِ اِبنِ حِزامِ

My she-camel completed a journey with a group from Mecca

Except for my hope in the glorious Ibn Hizam

جَميلُ المُحَيّا مِن قُرَيشٍ كَأَنَّهُ

هِلالٌ بَدا مِن سُدفَةٍ وَظَلامَ

The beautiful faced one from Quraysh, he is like

A crescent moon appearing from a drawer in the darkness

فَأَكرِم بِنَسلٍ مِئكَ بَني مُحَمَّدٍ

وَبَني عَلِيٍّ فَاِسمَعَنَّ كَلامِيَ

So treat kindly his offspring - the family of Muhammad

And the family of Ali - listen to my words

وَبَني حَكيمٍ وَالزُبَيرِ وَلا أَرى

لَهُم شَبَهاً في مُنجِدٍ وَتَهامى

And the family of Hakim and Zubayr, I do not see

Any resemblance to them in glory and ambition

تَمَطَّت بِهِ بَيضاءَ فَرعُ نَجيبَةٌ

حَصانٌ وَبَعضُ الوالِداتِ غَرامُ

A noble branch rode him, white Baidaa

A stallion, and some mothers are infatuated
