وَإِن أَكُ مِن كَعبٍ بِن سَعدٍ فَإِنَني

رَضيتُ بِهُم مِن حَيِّ صِدقٍ وَوالِدٍ

And if I am of Ka'b bin Sa'd then I am

Content with them as truthful and devoted folk

وَإِن يَكُ مِن كَعبِ بِن يِشكُرَ مَنصِبي

فَإِنَّ أَبانا عامِرٌ ذو المَجاسِدِ

And if my position be from Ka'b bin Yashkur

Then our father was Aamir of great prowess
