فَلَستُ بِمَحبُوٍّ وَلا جِدِّ مُكرَمٍ

ثَوائي إِذا لَم أَهجُ آلَ مُخَرَّمِ

I am neither a lover nor a serious admirer,

My goal when I don't praise the people of Mukhram.

أَأَجعَلُ عِرضي دونَ أَعراضِكُم لَكُم

وَأَكلُمُ عِرضاً كانَ غَيرَ مُكَلَّمِ

Shall I make my honor beneath yours for you,

And talk about an honor that was not talked about before?

وَأَشتُمُ قَوماً كانَ مَجدُ أَبيهِمُ

عَلى كُلِّ حالٍ راسِياً لَم يُهَضَّمِ

And insult a people whose father's glory,

Remained steady in all circumstances, unblemished.

فَكانَ طَويلَ الباعِ سَهلاً فِنائُهُ

وَكانَ قَديماً جولُهُ لَم يُهَدَّمِ

He who has a long life, his end is easy,

And his going around was old, undemolished.

صَبوراً عَلى ما نابَهُ غَيرَ قُعدَدٍ

وَما جارُهُ في النائِباتِ بِمُسلَمِ

Patient with what has afflicted him, not cowardly,

And his neighbor in calamities is not safe.

جَوادٌ لِباغي الخَيرِ يُسفِرُ وَجهُهُ

إِذا وَعَدَ المَعروفَ لَم يَتَنَدَّمِ

Generous to the seeker of good, his face shines

When he promises good, he does not regret.

وَأَبنائُهُ بيضٌ كِرامٌ نَما بِهِم

إِلى السورَةِ العُليا أَبٌ غَيرُ تَوأَمِ

And his sons are honorable, honorable men grew with him

To the highest rank a peerless father.

يَزيدُ حَمى يَومَ الصَباحِ بِسَيفِهِ

جِهاراً وَكَرَّ المُهرَ يَعثُرُ في الدَمِ

He increases the zeal on the morning with his sword

Openly, and the noble horse stumbles in the blood.
