لم أَرَ قوماً مثلنا خَيرَ قَومِهم

أَقَلَّ به مِنَّا على قومنا فَخرا

I have not seen a people like us, the best of people for their nation

Who boasts among us against our people less

وما تَزدَهِينا الكبرياءُ عليهمُ

إذا كلمونا أن نُكَلّمَهُم نَزرا

And arrogance does not make us great over them

When they speak to us, that we speak to them little

ونحن بنو ماء السماء فلا نَرَى

لأنفسنا من دون مَملَكِةٍ قَصرا

And we are the sons of rainwater, so we do not see

For ourselves other than the kingdom, a palace
