I granted my brother favors until I grew weary,

وأخ رخصت عليه حتى ملني

1. I granted my brother favors until I grew weary,
For everything grows tiresome when freely granted.

١. وأَخٍ رَخُصْتُ عَليْهِ حتّى مَلَّني
والشَّيْءُ مَمْلولٌ إِذا ما يَرْخُصُ

2. Would that when he sold my love he had sold it
To one who would surpass me, not one who would lessen it!

٢. يا لَيْتَهُ إِذْ باعَ وِدي باعَهُ
فيمَنْ يَزيدُ عَلَيْهِ لا مَنْ يُنْقِصُ

3. In your time, nothing’s existence brings honor
Unless a sincere friend counts it honorable.

٣. ما في زَمانِكَ ما يَعِزُّ وُجودُهُ
إِنْ رُمتَهُ إِلاَّ صَدِيقٌ مُخْلِصُ
