1. إِلى كَعبة المَعروف وَالحلم وَالوَفا

    حَليف المَعالي وَالمبرّات مصطَفى

    To the Kaaba of benevolence, forbearance, and fidelity,

    Ally of lofty virtues and charitable deeds, Mustafa,

  2. سَليل أَبي الأشبال خَير مجاهد

    بإيمانه لِلسَيف وَالرُمح قَد وَفى

    Scion of Abu al-Ashbal, the finest warrior,

    Who, through his faith, has proved true to sword and spear.

  3. سَعيت لِتَحظى بِالقبول هَدية

    بِها جئتُ مَردوداً وَأَغدو مُشرَّفا

    I strove so that a gift might win acceptance;

    With it I came, rejected, and shall go forth honored.
