لِعَلِيِّ بنِ صَالِحِ بنِ عَلِيّ

حَسَبٌ لَو يُعِينُهُ بِسَمَاحِ

For Ali son of Salih son of Ali

It would suffice if he supports with generosity

ومَواعِيدُهُ الرِّيَاحُ فَهَل أن

تَ بِكَفَّيكَ قَابِضٌ للرِّياحِ

And his promises are the winds, so is it possible

For you to grasp the winds with your palms?

وَبَنُو صَالِحٍ كثِيرٌ وَلكِن

ما لَنَا في عَدِيدهِم مِن صَلاحِ

And the sons of Salih are many, but

We have no righteousness in their multitude

غَيرَ فَضلٍ فإنَّ لِلفَضلِ فَضلاً

مُستَبِيناً على قُرَيشِ البِطَاحِ

Except virtue, for virtue has a virtue

Distinct upon Quraysh at the wadi
