أَبوكَ أَبو عَلِيٍّ ذو عَلاءٍ

إِذا عُدَّ الكِرامُ وَأَنتَ نَجلُه

Your father Abu Ali is a man of great distinction

When the generous are counted, you are his son

وَإِنَّ أَباكَ إِذ تُعزى إِلَيهِ

لَكَالطاووس تقبح مِنهُ رِجلُه

And your father, when traced back to him

Is like a peacock - only its feet are ugly
