يا أَكرَمَ الناسِ آباءً وَمُفتَخَرا

وَأَلأَمَ الناسِ مَبلُوّاً وَمُختَبَرا

O you who is most honoured in ancestry and pride

And most tried and tested among mankind in adversity

يُغضي الرِجالُ إِذا آباؤُهُ ذُكِروا

لَهُ وَيُغضي لَهُم إِن فِعلُهُ ذُكِرا

Men lower their gaze when their fathers are mentioned

And they lower their gaze for them if their own deeds are mentioned
