1. I have brothers in Akbar who are sincere friends
They came together to me with gentle morals
١. ولي في عكبَرا إخوان صدق
توافوا لي بأخلاق الظراف
2. Kind words and greetings of peace
They were satisfied with me with sufficiency as a gift
٢. كلام طيب وسلام سلم
رضوا لي في الهديّة بالكفاف
3. Their vineyards are lost yet they are generous
Surely in their words of disagreement
٣. ضياعهم الكروم وهم كرام
على التأكيد في لفظ الخلاف
4. During days of drought they draw near me
And abstain during days of harvest
٤. فأيّامُ الكساح يقاربوني
ويمتنعون أيّام القطاف
