إِذا عَدَّدَ الناسُ المَكارِمَ أَشرَفَت

رَوابي أَبي حَربٍ عَلى مَن يُطاوِلُ

When people recount virtues,

The banners of my father Abu Harb tower over all who aspire to equal him.

إِلَيهِم تَناهى مَجدُ كُلِّ قَبيلَةٍ

وَصارَ لَهُم مِنّا الذُرى وَالكَواهِلُ

The glory of every tribe comes to an end with them,

And they became for us the scions and the elders.

وَأَنتُم زِمامُ اِبنَي نِزارٍ كِلَيهِما

إِذا عُدَّ عِندَ المَشعَرَينِ الفَضائِلُ

You are the reins of both the sons of Nizar,

When merits are counted among the two Holy Places.

كَفانِيَ سَلمٌ عَضَّ دَهرٍ وَلَم يَزَل

لَهُ عارِضٌ يُردي العُفاةَ وَنائِلُ

A stalwart man of a tribe that time has not weakened,

With a critic who makes the immoral fall and attain their wishes.
