1. You are my pillar amidst these hills
And my shooting star beyond all shooting stars

2. You, O Amro, are my strength and my life
My tongue, and you are my victory and fang

3. Will I forget your white hands
When the fate of friends has darkened?

4. Where is the generosity at the abode of need
That protects the precinct of etiquette?

5. Where are your pleasing morals?
Have they changed in me? Or where is the softness of youth?

6. If a scholar's kindness in the land of foreigners
Is generosity to those of intellect

7. I am indebted to the clouds, and I blame
This as a blemish upon the clouds

8. Rise to the Master of mankind on my behalf
With a stand that seeks the beauty of speech

9. Perhaps God will extinguish for me, through you
A fire that flares up within me
