لَمّا رأَيتُ الحادِثاتِ كَنَفنَني

وَأَورَثنَني بُؤسى ذَكَرتُ أَبا الحَكَمْ

When I saw what happened, it enveloped me

And remembering Abu Al-Hakam brought me misery

سَليلَ مُلوكٍ سَبعَةٍ قَد تَتابَعوا

هُم المُصطَفَونَ وَالمُصَفَّونَ بالكَرَمْ

Descendant of seven successive kings

They are the chosen ones, distinguished in generosity
