ما الفَخْرُ أَنِّي إِمامُ الناسِ كُلِّهِمُ

فَخْري بِنَفْسي وآبائي من اللَّفَفِ

What pride that I'm the leader of all people,

My pride is in myself, my fathers, not the masses,

والعَقْلُ والفَضْلُ في مَجْدي وفي نُطُقي

وما تَكامَلَ في خُلْقي من الشَّرَفِ

Reason and merit are my glory and my speech,

What perfection my being's gained through nobility.
