The noble chiefs of Hashim traced his descent

He grew it, the free man, from Hashim

The noble chiefs of Hashim brought him forth,

To the clearest, purest lineage,

To the clearest, most evident lineage,

To the clearest, most unmistakable lineage,

إِلى نَبعَةٍ فَرعُها في السَّماء

إِلى نَبعَةٍ فَرعُها في السَّماء

ومَغرِسُها سُرَّةُ الأبطَحِ

ومَغرِسُها سُرَّةُ الأبطَحِ

To a nabʿ tree whose branch is in the sky

To a source whose branches are in the sky

To a tree whose branch reaches into the heavens,

And whose planting-place is the navel of al-Abtah.

And whose roots are in the most fertile ground

And whose root is planted in the heart of Al-Abtah.
