قَد يَعلَمُ الناسَ أَنّا خَيرُهُم نَسَبا
وَنَحنُ أَفخَرَهُم بَيتاً إِذا فَخِروا
People may know that we are the best of them in lineage
The people surely know that we are the noblest of them in lineage,
And we are the proudest of them in house if they are proud
And that ours is the most glorious house whenever men boast.
رَهطُ النَبِيِّ وَهُم مَأَوى كَرامَتِهِ
وَناصِرو الدينِ وَالمَنصورُ مَن نَصَروا
The family of the Prophet, and they are the refuge of his prestige
The kinsfolk of the Prophet, and the sanctuary of his honor,
And the supporters of religion, and the victorious are those they supported
Defenders of the Faith; and victorious is the one whom they aid.
وَالأَرضُ تَعلَمُ أَنّا خَيرُ ساكِنِها
كَما بِهِ تَشهَدُ البَطحاءُ وَالمَدَرُ
And the land knows that we are the best of its inhabitants
The earth itself knows that we are the best of its dwellers,
As Al-Bat'ha and Al-Mudar testify to it
Just as the Meccan valley and the settled lands bear witness.
وَالبَيتُ ذو السِترِ لَو شاؤوا تُحَدِّثُهُم
نادى بِذَلِكَ رُكنُ البَيتِ وَالحَجَرُ
And the house with curtains, if they willed, would tell them
And the Draped House, were they to wish it, would speak to them,
The corner of the house and the stone called out to that
Proclaimed aloud by the Holy Corner and the Black Stone.
