1. صَبَرتَ عَلى الأَهوالِ صَبرَ ابنِ حُرَّةٍ

    فَأَعطاكَ حُسنُ الصَبرِ حُسنَ العَواقِبِ

    You endured terrors with the endurance of a free woman's son.

    So the excellence of patience brought you favorable outcomes.

  2. وَأَتعَبتَ نَفساً يابنَ نَصرٍ نَفِيسَةً

    إِلى أَن أَتاكَ النَصرُ مِن كُلِّ جانِبِ

    And you wearied your precious soul, O son of Nasr,

    Until victory came to you from every side.

  3. وَأَنتَ امرُؤُ تَبغِي العُلى غَيرَ عاجِزٍ

    وَتَسعى إِلى طُرق الرَدى غَيرَ هائِبِ

    And you are a man who seeks the heights, without weakness,

    And you hasten toward the paths of death, unafraid.

  4. يُطَوِّلُ مَحمُودُ بنُ نَصرِ وَفِعلُهُ

    كِلاباً كَما طالَت تَمِيمٌ بِحاجِبِ

    Mahmud ibn Nasr and his deeds raise high

    Kilab, as Tamim rose high through Hajib.
