لا مجد لي بتقى أبي

وسداده فيما سلكْ

No glory remains for me except my father,

And his righteousness in what he has undertaken,

وندى لجدي أفعم ال

وادي به ودم سفكْ

And the dew of my grandfather who has made

The valley overflow with him and blood shed,

كشهادة الحسناء في

بيت أحلَّنِيَ الفلكْ

Like the testimony of a beautiful woman in

A house where destiny has settled me,

ذا أغلب الشعراء شي

طاناً وألطفهم ملكْ

This one has overcome the poets as a

Devil and the most gentle of them as a king,

فبهذه تيهي إذا

تاه الغنيُّ بما ملكْ

So with this I wander when

The rich man wanders with what he possesses.
