الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ العَلِيِّ

وَمَن لَهُ تَزكو المَحامِد

Praise be to God, the Most High,

To Whom all laudable praises belong.

أَيَسُبُّني رَجُلٌ عَلَي

هِ مِنَ الخِزانَةِ أَلفُ شاهِد

Does a man insult me, against whom

There are a thousand witnesses from the registry?

هَذا أَبو الهِندِيِّ في

هِ مَشابِهٌ مِن غَيرِ واحِد

This is Abu al-Hindi, in whom

Are resemblances derived from more than one man.

ماذا أَقولُ لِمَن لَهُ

في كُلِّ عُضوٍ مِنهُ والِد

What shall I say to one who has,

In every limb of his body, a father?
