1. My own soul is a brother to me, his nature is like my nature
The essence of his kindness heals my affection for him
١. بِنَفسي أَخٌ لي خَلقُهُ مِثلُ خُلقِهِ
يِشَفُّ لِوُدّي مِنهُ جَوهَرُ رِفقِهِ
2. When a man's aim passes by, he drags his tail
To his innate generosity, he stands by his right
٢. إِذا مَرَّ قَصدُ المَرءِ يَسحَبُ ذَيلَهُ
إِلى جودِهِ المَوجودِ قامَ بِحَقِّهِ
3. If the connoisseurs could see the one who pours the dew
The adornments of his gifts, they would acknowledge his skill
٣. لَو أَبصَرَتِ الحُذّاقُ مِن صاغَةِ النَدى
حُلِيَّ عَطاياهُ أَقَرَّت بِحِذقِهِ
