سبقنا ولم نسبق وضمنا ولم نضم

لنا ذاك محتوماً على الناس محكما

We led when none led, and we gained when none gained,

That was destined for us over people decisively.

فما عد إنسان بأمثل هاشم

إذا عددوا الاباء أسنى وأكرما

So no human can count the like of Hashim,

If they count the fathers, more virtuous and generous.

وما أفتخر الأقوام إلا بفضلنا

وما وجدوا إلا لنا متجشما

And no people boast but for our merit,

And they found no one but us frowning against adversity.

ونحن خصصنا بالنبوة منهم

وكان لهذا الناس عزاً مقدما

And we were singled out with prophecy among them,

And this was for the people an old honor.

ونحن ولينا الحجر والبيت دونهم

ونحن حفرنا جانب الحجر زمزما

And we were made guardians of the Stone and House over them,

And we dug the side of the Stone - Zamzam.

تخيرنا رب العباد بعلمه

هداة وكان الله بالناس أعلما

The Lord of worshipers chose us with His knowledge,

As guides, and Allah was most knowing of people.

وما مثلنا في الناس أوفى بذمة

وأقول إن قالوا لحق وأحكما

And none were as true to their covenant among people as we,

And I say truth and decisively if they speak.

فمن ذا الذي يعتد إن عد مثلنا

أعزَّ وأنكى للعدو وأرغما

So who can count the like of us,

If they count the most honored and painful to the enemy and subduer?

وأصدق عند الناس في كل موطن

إذا شمرت حرب وأحمد مقدما

And the most truthful among people in every abode,

When the war took off its cloak, and the best vanguard.
