إِن تَنسُبوني تَنسُبوا ذا دَسيعَةٍ

بَريئاً مِنَ الآفاتِ وَالنَقصِ ماجِدا

If you trace my lineage, you trace one with glorious deeds

Free from defects and shortcomings, glorious

تَكَنَّفُهُ أَنسابُ ذُبيانَ كُلِّها

وَنالَ بِأَظفارٍ عَدُوّاً أَباعِدا

Encompassed by the lineages of all tribes

And who grasped a remote enemy with his claws

وَلَن يَجِدوا في مَوطِنٍ عِندَ سَرحَةٍ

إِذا ذُمَّ أَقوامٌ لِعِرضِيَ ناشِدا

And they will not find in any homeland near a meadow

When some people blame my honor, seeking help

وَقَد عَلِموا أَن لا أَجَرَّ عَلَيهِمُ

مِنَ المُخزِياتِ ما يَكونُ القَلائِدا

And they knew that I do not hurl at them

Any of the disgraces that form necklaces

وَكَم مُفرِهاتٍ مِن عِشارٍ مَنَحتُها

فُلولَ سِنينٍ لا تُدَرّونَ ساعِدا

And how many rejected trifles from a tithe I have given

To remnants of years whose elbow you cannot push back
