أَبوكَ حُبابٌ سارِقُ الضَيفِ بُردَهُ

وَجَدِّيَ يا شَمّاخُ فارِسُ شَمَّرا

Your father is a thief who steals the guest's cloak

And your grandfather, O boaster, the knight of Shammarr

بَنو الصالِحينَ الصالِحونَ وَمِن يَكُن

لِآباءِ سَوءٍ يَلقَهُم حَيثُ سُيِّرا

The righteous beget the righteous, and he who is born

To evil fathers will find them wherever he turns

فَإِن تَغضَبوا مِن قِسمَةِ اللَهِ فيكُمُ

فَلِلَّهُ إِذ لَم يُرضِكُم كانَ أَبصَرا

If you are angry at God's distribution among you

Then God, since He did not please you, is more discerning
