أَخِداشُ أَنتَ اِبنُ الثَلا

ثَةِ لَيسَ فَوقَهُمو ثَلاثَه

You are the son of the three, there are not three above them

For Yazid son of Mukhallad

لِيَزيدٍ بنِ مُخَلَّدٍ

ثُمَّ المُهَلَّبِ ذي النَباثَه

Then Al-Muhallab of active vigor

Through them the lofty lineages branched out

بِهِمو تَفَرَّعتِ العُلى

وَنَزَلتَ مِن بَلَدٍ دِماثَه

And you descended from a blood-stained land

Those who descended upon Al-Maniya with swords have belongings for them

النازِلينَ عَلى المَنِي

يَةِ بِالسُيوفِ لَهُم حِثاثَه

A people who settled you in the abodes

And built your building amidst bloodshed

قَومٌ أَحلَّوكَ الذُرى

وَبَنوا بِناءَكَ في الدَماثَه

So those who guarantee their neighbor

And for every refuge there is salvation

فَالضامِنينَ لِجارِهِم

وَلِكُلِّ مُنتَجَعٍ غِياثَه

A band for the staffs of kings, not inheriting

From virtues anything but legacy

رَكبٌ لِعيدانِ المُلو

كِ عَنِ المَكارِمِ غَيرُ راثَه

They went away while their inheritance perplexed you

And a man makes up his own legacy

ذَهَبوا وَحُزتَ تُراثَهُم

وَالمَرءُ مُصطَنِعٌ تُراثَه

So plow the plowing of a father

Who was most generous to it his legacy

فَاِحرُث حِراثَةَ والِدٍ

كانَ السَماحُ لَهُ حِراثَه

And leave the finding fault, indeed it

Is a disease upon successful legacy

وَدَعِ المَلاثَةَ إِنَّهُ

داءٌ عَلى النُجحِ المَلاثَه

Complete with the excellence of a hand, a hand

Completion indeed has legacy for it

تَمِّم بِفَضلِ يَدٍ يَداً

إِنَّ التَمامَ لَهُ وِراثَه
