1. لَو كانَ يَقعُدُ فَوقَ الشَمسِ مِن أَحَدٍ

    قَومٌ لِمَجدِهِمُ أَو جودِهِم قَعَدوا

    If anyone at all could sit above the sun,

    These men would sit there for their glory or their generosity.

  2. قَومٌ أَبوهُم سِنانٌ حينَ تَنسِبُهُم

    طابوا وَطابَ مِنَ الأَولادِ ما وَلَدوا

    A people whose father is Sinan, when you trace their lineage:

    Noble were they, and noble were the children they begot.

  3. إِنسٌ إِذا أَمِنوا جِنٌّ إِذا فَزِعوا

    مُرَزَّؤونَ بَهاليلٌ إِذا حَشَدوا

    Humans when secure, jinn when alarmed,

    Much sought for their bounty, noble lords when they muster.
