جَزى اللَهُ رَبُّ الناسِ خَيرَ جَزائِهِ

أَبا ماعِزٍ مِن عامِلٍ وَصَديقِ

May the Lord of mankind reward Abu Ma'iz

The best reward for a worker and friend

قَضى حاجَتي بِالحَقِّ ثُم أَجازَها

بِصِدقٍ وَبَعضُ القَومِ غَيرُ صَدوقِ

He fulfilled my need truthfully, though some people

Are not truthful

وَلَمّا رَآني مُقبِلاً قالَ مَرحَباً

أَلا مَرحباً واديكَ غَيرَ مَضيقِ

When he saw me coming, he said "Welcome!"

Indeed, welcome - your valley is not narrow

تَوَرَّثتَ مِن دودانَ مَجداً وَسؤدُداً

وَلَستَ كَمَن يَغبى بِغَيرِ لُصوقِ

You have inherited glory and friendship from your ancestors

And you are not like one who is absent without excuse

بَنى لَكَ عَبدُ اللَهِ بَيتاً بِيافِعٍ

عَلى كُلِّ وادٍ حَولَهُ وَطَريقِ

Abdullah has built you a house in Yafi'

On every valley around it and road

وَخَيرُ خَبيءٍ في امرءٍ عِندَ مَوطِنٍ

إِذا جَمَعَ الإِسلامَ مَجدُ عُروقِ

And the best refuge for a man in his homeland

Is when the glory of ancestry combines with Islam
