نَحنُ الكِرامُ بَنو الكِرا

مِ وَطِفلُنا في المَهدِ يُكَنى

We are the generous, children of generosity

We are the noble, sons of the noble,

And our babe in the cradle is titled

And our child in the cradle bears a title.

إِنّا إِذا قَعَدَ اللِئ

مُ عَلى بِساطِ العِزِّ قُمنا

Verily, when the vile man sits

Indeed, if the ignoble take a seat

On the carpet of honor, we stand

Upon the carpet of glory, we rise.
