وَمَا فيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَشرّ فإنَّهَا

سَجِيَّةُ أبائي وَفِعْلُ جُدُودِي

Whatever good or evil is in me, it is

The nature of my fathers, and the deeds of my forebears.

هُمُ القَوْمُ فَرْعِي مِنْهُمْ مُتَفَرَعٌ

وَعُودُهُمْ عِنْدَ الحَوَادِثِ عُودِي

They are my tribe, and I branch from them,

And in adversity I return to their ways.
