This is my attempt to fit this poem on the Prophet’s lineage into one of the arabic poetic meter called rajaz. May it help the memorisation of the blessed lineage.
The translation of the text below,
It has been dictated to me by my Grandfather, (may Allah shower mercy on him) this poem attributed to Shaykh Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin ‘Abd Ar-Rahmān Ad-Dīsī (rahimahullah) (1854-1921).
And it is incumbent upon every legally obligated To know the noble lineage
Muhammad the Chosen from the best of Arabs His father ‘Abdullah, Abdul Muthalib
And Hāshim, Abdu Manaf and Qusayy Likewise Kilab, Murrah, Ka’ab, Luayy
And Ghālib, Fihr and Mālik, An-Nadhar Kinanah, Khuzaimah, be a possessor of sight (O dear reader!)
Mudrikah, Ilyās, Mudhor and Nizār Ma’ad, and ‘Adnān the one by whom is the glory
And there is no news above ‘Adnan Which is relied upon from the historians/genealogists
