يُفاخِرُنا قَومٌ بِمَن لَم يَلِدهُمُ

بِتَيمٍ إِذا عُدَّ السَوابِقُ أَو عَدي

They boast to us of one not born of them

Of Taim when counted as the foremost noble steed

وَيَنسَونَ مَن لَو قَدَّموهُ لَقَدَّموا

عِذارَ جَوادٍ في الجِيادِ مُقَلَّدِ

Yet forget the one had they but led forth

Would have excused a noble horse among noble breeds

فَتى هاشِمٍ بَعدَ النَبِيِّ وَباعُها

لَمَرمى عُلىً أَو نَيلِ مَجدٍ وَسُؤدُدِ

A Hashimite youth after the Prophet who sold it

For the cause of lofty Ulya or glory and praise repeated

وَلَولا عَلَيٌّ ما عَلوا سَرَواتِها

وَلا جَعجَعوا مِنها بِمَرعىً وَمَورِدِ

And but for Ali they'd not have overtopped its pinnacle

Nor therefrom provided pasture and fresh water renewed

أَخَذنا عَليهِم بِالنَبِيِّ وَفاطِمٍ

طِلاعَ المَساعي مِن مَقامٍ وَمَقعَدِ

We hold against them by the Prophet and Fatima

The prospects of endeavor from abode and seat

وَطُلنا بِسِبطَي أَحمَدٍ وَوَصِيِّهِ

رِقابَ الوَرى مِن مُتهِمينَ وَمُنجِدِ

And seek through the two grandsons of Ahmad and his successor

The necks of mankind from suspects and champion unique

وَحُزنا عَتيقاً وَهوَ غايَةُ فَخرِكُم

بِمَولِدِ بِنتِ القاسِمِ بنِ مُحَمَّدِ

And antique sorrow it is the utmost pride of you

The birth of the daughter of Al-Qasim son of Muhammad

فَجَدٌّ نَبِيٌّ ثُمَّ جَدٌّ خَليفَةٌ

فَما بَعدَ جَدَّينا عَلَيٍّ وَأَحمَدِ

So grandsire a Prophet then grandsire a successor

What then beyond our two grandsires Ali and Ahmad

وَما اِفتَخَرَت بَعدَ النَبِيِّ بِغيرِهِ

يَدٌ صَفَّقَت يَومَ البَياعِ عَلى يَدِ

And none but through him has it boasted after the Prophet

A hand that clapped on the day of sale upon hand
