1. وَقَومٌ أَبوهُم غالِبٌ جُلُّ مالِهِم

    مَحامِدُ أَغلاها مِنَ المَجدِ غالِبُ

    And a people whose father is Ghalib—the greater part of their wealth

    Is praiseworthy deeds, which Ghalib made precious through glory.

  2. بَنو كُلِّ فَيّاضِ اليَدَينِ إِذا شَتا

    وَأَكدَت بِأَيمانِ الرِجالِ المَطالِبُ

    Sons of all whose hands overflow with bounty when winter comes,

    And quests for gain leave men's right hands empty.

  3. وَما زالَ مِنهُم مُشتَري الحَمدَ بِاللُهى

    وَجارٌ لِمَن أَعيَت عَلَيهِ المَذاهِبُ

    And among them there has always been one who buys praise with lavish gifts,

    And a protector for anyone whose paths have become impassable.
