وَوَرَثتُ جَدّي مَجدَهُ وَفِعالَهُ

وَوَرَثَت جَدَّكَ أَعنُزاً بِالطائِفِ

My grandfather's glory and deeds I inherited

While your grandfather inherited sheep in Taif

وَأَبي الَّذي فَتَحَ البِلادَ بِسَيفِهِ

فَأَذَلَّها لِبَني الزَمانِ الغابِرِ

And my father who conquered lands with his sword

Subjugated them for past generations

وَأَبي الَّذي سَلَبَ اِبنَ كِسرى رايَةً

بَيضاءَ تَخفِقُ كَالعُقابِ الطائِرِ

And my father who seized the banner of Chosroes

A white banner fluttering like a soaring eagle

وَإِذا فَخَرتُ فَخَرتُ غَيرَ مُكَذَّبٍ

فَخرٌ أَدُقُّ بِهِ فَخارَ الفاخِرِ

And when I boast I boast truthfully

A boast by which I surpass all boasters
