A brother whose brotherhood is as sweet as honey

أخ كذوب الشهد طعم إخائه

1. A brother whose brotherhood is as sweet as honey
When the nights alternate between white and black

١. أَخٌ كَذَوب الشَهد طَعمُ إِخائِهِ
إِذا اختلفت بيض اللَيالي وَسودُها

2. Like the wish of one yearning, hopeful and attained
And aid against a scheming, blind affair

٢. كأُمنية المَلهوف حَزماً وَنائِلاً
وَعَوناً عَلى عَمياءِ أَمرٍ يُكيدها

3. For him I have blessings I was too weak to thank
Yet he increases them daily in every way

٣. له نِعمٌ عِندي ضَعُفتُ بشكرها
عَلى أَنَّه في كُلِّ يَوم يَزيدها

4. He relieved me of thanking him, and gave me rest
For gratitude has steps hard for climbing

٤. تحمّل عَنّي شُكرَها فَأَراحَني
وَللشكرِ مِرقاةٌ كؤود صُعودها

5. As if for every blessing he makes me wear
Necklaces, presenting them again and again

٥. كَأَنَّ عليهِ الشُكرَ في كُلِّ نِعمَةٍ
يقلِّدُنيها بادياً وَيُعيدُها
