1. بِعَمّي سَقى اللَهُ الحِجازَ وَأَهلَهُ

    عَشِيَّةَ يَستَسقي بِشَيبَتِهِ عُمَر

    Through my uncle, God watered the Hijaz and its people,

    on the evening when Umar sought rain through my uncle's gray hair.

  2. تَوَجَّهَ بِالعَبّاسِ في الجَدبِ راغِباً

    فَما كَرَّ حَتّى جاءَ بِالديمَةِ المَطَر

    He turned to God through al-Abbas amid drought, full of hope;

    and before he turned back, the rain came, gentle and steady.

  3. وَمِنّا رَسولُ اللَهِ فينا تُراثُهُ

    فَهَل فَوقَ هَذا لِلمُفاخِرِ مُفتَخَر

    And God's Messenger is one of us; among us is his legacy.

    So is there any greater glory than this for one who boasts?
