1. Say to the one of affection and purity, Husain
I appreciate the love between us, for what it's worth
١. قُل لِذي الوُدِّ وَالصَفاءِ حُسَينٍ
أَقدِرِ الوُدَّ بَينَنا قَدَرَه
2. The tanner has no choice
But to endure the leather's reproach
٢. لَيسَ لِلدابِغِ المُحَلَّمِ بُدٌّ
مِن عِتابِ الأَديمِ ذي البَشَرَه
3. If one of brotherly love strays
From the path, I do not follow his trail
٣. لَستُ إِن زاغَ ذو إِخاءٍ وَوُدٍّ
عَن طَريقٍ بِتابِعٍ أَثَرَه
4. Rather, I persist in praise and affection until
Truth is later followed, or abandoned
٤. بَل أُديمُ الثَناءَ وَالوُدَّ حَتّى
يَتبَعَ الحَقَّ بَعدُ أَو يَذَرَه
