لَو كُنتُ مِن أَولادِ يَحيى لَما

زادَ وَلَو كانَ أَبوهُ أَبي

If I were among the sons of Yahya, never

Would his wealth increase mine, were his father my own father.

مِن مالِهِ مالي وَمِن جاهِهِ

جاهي وَمِن مَركَبِهِ مَركَبي

Nor would his status raise my status,

Nor would his mount become my own mount.
