مِنَ النَفر البيضِ الَّذينَ اِذا اِنتَجوا

اقرت لِنَجواهُم لُؤيُّ بنُ غالِب

From the noble white people whose eloquence

I acknowledged to be that of Lu'ayy son of Ghalib,

يُحَيّون بِسّامين طوراً وَتارَة

يُحَيّون عَبّاسيون شوس الحَواجِب

At times they greet with drawn swords,

At others they greet as Abbasids with frowning eyebrows.
