1. مدحْتَ نُصَيراً على زَمرِه

    وفي زمره يصدُقُ المادِحُ

    You praised Nuṣair for his band

    And among his band the praiser is truthful

  2. فنازع في زَمرِه معشرٌ

    وقالوا يشابهه صالحُ

    Yet a group contested his band

    And said Ṣāliḥ resembles him

  3. فقلت لهم زَمرُه غاية

    وصالِحٌ في زَمرِهِ صالحُ

    So I said to them his band is the utmost

    And Ṣāliḥ among his band is Ṣāliḥ
