1. You deserve praise, O you who are gentle with the lover
And with reunion after separation, you add favor
١. لك الفضل يا من بالمحب تلطفا
وبالوصل بعد الفصل فضلاً تعطفا
2. It is true to me that your trait is loyalty
So you treated me with kindness, sympathy and sincerity
٢. لقد صح عندي أن شيمتك الوفا
فعاملتني باللطف والعطف والصفا
3. And you saved me from the evil that I cannot endure
You comforted the young man's heart from what ailed it
٣. وأنقذتني من سوء ما لا أطيقه
أرحت فؤاد الصب مما له عرى
4. And you guided him when he was lost
So you remained victorious in all matters
٤. وأرشدته لما غدا متحيرا
فلا زلت في كل الأمور مظفرا
5. Greetings to your highest self, for as long as a pen flows
And as the friend was a helper for his friend
٥. سلام على علياك ما قلم جرى
وما الصديق كان عوناً صديقه
