أَنا جَميلٌ في السَنامِ مِن مَعَد

في الذُروَةِ العَلياءِ وَالرُكنِ الأَشَد

I am beautiful in lineage, from Ma'ad

In the highest summit and the firmest support

وَالبَيتِ مِن سَعدِ بنِ زَيدٍ وَالعَدَد

ما يَبتَغي الأَعداءُ مِنّي وَلَقَد

And the house of Sa'd bin Zayd in number

What my enemies want from me, but indeed

أُضرِيَ بِالشَمِّ لِساني وَمَرَد

أَقودُ مَن شِئتُ وَصَعبٌ لَم أُقَد

My tongue is sharpened by the sun and polished sword

I lead whom I wish, the difficult I have led
