I told her I'd be patient with her truthfully

قلت لها أصبرها صادقا

1. I told her I'd be patient with her truthfully
Though the likes of witty Tarif are few

١. قُلتُ لَها أُصبِرُها صادِقاً
وَيحَكِ أَمثالُ طَريفٍ قَليل

2. The brave may fall short of their deeds
While the stingy exhale generosity over him

٢. قَد يَقصُرُ الماجِدُ عَن فِعلِهِ
وَيَنفَسُ الجودَ عَلَيهِ البَخيل

3. That lad gives freely of his worth
Unmarred meat won't spoil from vinegar for him

٣. ذاكَ فَتىً يَبذُلُ ذا قِدرِهِ
لا يُفسِدُ اللَحمَ لَدَيهِ الصُلول

4. May it convey to him--the lad's quest--
Glory, ancestry, and long reign

٤. بَلَّغَهُ صالِحَ سَعيِ الفَتى
عِزٌّ تَليدٌ وَعِنانٌ طَويل
