1. إِذا نُسِبَت يَوماً قُرَيشٌ نَفَتكُمُ

    وَإِن تَنتَسِب شِجعٌ فَأَنتَ نَسيبُها

    If ever Quraysh's lineage is traced, they disown you all.

    And if Shijʿ traces its ancestry, you are its kinsman.

  2. وَإِنَّ التي ألقَتكَ مِن تَحتِ رِجلِها

    وَليداً لَمَهجانُ الغِذاءِ خَبُوبُها

    And indeed the woman who cast you out from beneath her leg,

    a newborn, is indeed base in nurture, their deceitful one.

  3. وَأُمُّكَ مِن قسرٍ حُباشَةُ أُمِّها

    لسَمراءُ فَهمِ آسِنُ البَولِ طيبُها

    And your mother, of Qasr, her mother's mixed stock,

    is indeed a brown-skinned woman of Fahm; stale urine is her perfume.
