لِبَني الشويريّ الكرام قد اِنجَلى

نَجلٌ يُحاكي البدر لَيلةَ تمه

For the honorable Bani al-Shuwairee has dawned

A son who rivals the full moon on a perfect night

فشدا مؤَرّخهُ وغرَّد قائلاً

لا زالَ في الدنيا سَليمٌ كاسمهِ

So his chronicler rejoiced and sang, saying:

"Salim still lives in this world, as his name suggests."
