فان مَعشَرٌ بَخِلوا وَالتووا

عَلى ذي قَرابَتِهم لَم يُصبْ

A clan refused and turned away

From their own kin - may they not prosper!

فَإِنَّ الإِلَهَ كَفاني الَّتي

بِهم وَبسيب بني المطَّلبْ

For God has been enough for me

For them, and for the sons of Hashim.

وَكنت إِذا جئتُهُم راغِباً

مجيءَ المُصابِ إِلى المُحتَسبْ

Whenever I came to them in need,

Like the afflicted seeking aid,

أَقرّوا بِلا خُلف حاجَتي

أَلا مِثلُ سائلهم لَم يَخِبْ

They never failed to grant my request -

No beggar was refused by them.
