أَنا الغُلامَ القُرَشي المُؤتَمَن

الماجِدُ الأَبلَجُ لَيثٌ كَالشَطَن

I am the trusty Qurashi lad

I am the trusted youth of the Quraysh,

Glorious, white-toothed lion in form

The noble, the bright-faced, a lion like a sinewy rope,

يَرضى بِهِ السادَةُ مِن أَهلِ اليَمَن

مِن ساكِني نَجدٍ وَمِن أَهلِ عَدَن

Pleasing to the chiefs of Yemen's clans

With whom the chieftains of the people of Yemen are well-pleased,

Of Najd's dwellers and the folk of Aden

From the dwellers of Najd and the people of Aden.

أَبو الحُسَين فَاِعلَمَن أَبو الحَسَن

قَد جاكَ تَقتادُ العَنانَ وَالرَسَن

Father of Hussein, know! Father of Hasan

[My father is] Abu al-Husayn, and know well, [my grandfather is] Abu al-Hasan,

Now to you comes the guidable steed fully caparisoned

He has come to you, leading the reins and the halter.
