Oh how I wish every friend I hoped for

يا ليت كل خليل كنت آمله

1. Oh how I wish every friend I hoped for
Would be like the son of Daffa' among all people

١. يا لَيتَ كُلَّ خَليلٍ كُنتُ آمُلُهُ
يَكونُ مِثلَ اِبنِ دَفّاعٍ مِنَ البَشَرِ

2. As if the glance of Qatami with his eyelashes
When the guides of people are confused, he is not

٢. كَأَنَّ طَرفَ قَطامِيٍّ بِمُقلَتِهِ
إِذا يَحارُ هُداةُ الناسِ لَم يَحِرِ

3. Until when the people were on their mounts
The stallion was with the one with the sword and valor

٣. حَتّى إِذا القَومُ كانوا في رِحالِهِمِ
كانَ الجَوادُ بِذي الفاثورِ وَالغُمَرِ

4. He may fill the leather bucket then drink it
From the udder of a fearful she-camel until dawn

٤. قَد يَملَأُ الجَفنَةَ الشيزى فَيَترِعُها
مِن ذاتِ خَيفَينِ مِعشاءٍ إِلى السَحَرِ

5. From every gray-haired one whose claws have grayed
The snake recoils from its hiss to the burrow

٥. مِن كُلِّ شَهباءَ قَد شابَت مَشافِرُها
تَنحازُ مِن حِسِّها الأَفعى إِلى الوَزَرِ
