لعمركَ ما الاِنسانُ الّا بدينِهِ

فَلا تَترُك التَقوى اعتِماداً عَلى النَسَب

By your life! Man is naught but what his faith makes of him.

So do not abandon piety relying on lineage.

فَقَد رَفَعَ الاِسلامُ سلمانَ فارِسٍ

وَقَد وَضَع الشركُ الشَريفَ أَبا لَهَب

For Islam has raised the status of the Persian Salman,

While polytheism degraded the noble Abu Lahab.
