1. O Amr, if you close the door of trust between us
Then I am the one who, if you betray it, will guard it
١. يا عَمروُ إِن تُسدِ الأَمانَةَ بَينَنا
فَأَنا الَّذي إِن خُنتَها يَرعاها
2. O Amr, the brother of trust is not one
Who has never been touched by any flaw he concealed
٢. يا عَمروُ لَيسَ أَخو الأَمانَةِ بِالَّذي
ما رابَهُ مِن خُطَّةٍ أَفشاها
3. O Amr, the brother of trust is a concealer
Who, if able, would hide it even beneath his skin
٣. يا عَمروُ إِنَّ أَخا الأَمانَةِ كاتِمٌ
لَو يَستَطيعُ بِجِلدِهِ أَخفاها
