1. وإِنَّكَ فَرعٌ مِن قُرَيشٍ وَإِنَّما

    تَمُجُّ النَدى مِنها البُحورُ الفَوارِعُ

    And you are a branch of Quraysh, and only

    its towering seas pour forth generosity.

  2. ثَوَوا قادَةً لِلناسِ بَطحاءُ مَكَّةٍ

    لَهُم وَسِقاياتُ الحَجيجِ الدَوافِعُ

    They dwelt as leaders of the people; Mecca's gravelly valley

    was theirs, as were the gushing water supplies for pilgrims.

  3. فَلَمّا دُعوا لِلمَوتِ لَم تَبكِ مِنهُمُ

    عَلى حادِثِ الدَهرِ العُيونُ الدَوامِعُ

    So when they were summoned to death, none of their

    tearful eyes wept over time's calamity.
