1. نَحنُ الَّذينَ غَدَت رَحى أَحسابِهِم

    وَلَها عَلى قُطبِ الفَخارِ مَدارُ

    We are those whose millstone of ancestral honor now turns,

    With its course around the axis of glory.

  2. قَومٌ لِغُصنِ نَداهُمُ مِن رِفدِهِم

    وَرَقٌ وَمِن مَعروفِهِم أَثمارُ

    A people whose bough of generosity bears, from their gifts,

    Leaves, and from their kindness, fruits.

  3. مِن كُلِّ وَضّاحِ الجَبينِ كَأَنَّهُ

    رَوضٌ خَلائِقُهُ لَهُ أَزهارُ

    Each of them radiant-browed, as though he were

    A garden, his qualities its flowers.
