ROYAL PRIDE by AL-NASIR

First Line: ARE WE NOT THE PROGENY
Last Line: JOY POSSESSES ALL THE EARTH.
Subject(s): PRIDE; SELF-ESTEEM; SELF-RESPECT;

Are we not the progeny
Of Marwan, however Fate
Plays with us despitefully,
And whate'er our present state?

When the issue of our thews
Is proclaimed in royal birth
Pulpits tremble at the news,
Joy possesses all the earth.
