1. We have a brother who possesses wisdom
Beyond what my aspirations can attain
١. لَنا أَخٌ عِندَهُ مِنَ الحِكَمِ
ما عَجَزَت عَن بُلوغِهِ هِمَمي
2. If he prepared a gift for us
He would gracefully wrap it with a modest apology
٢. إِن هُوَ صاغَ النَوالُ مِنهُ لَنا
رَندَجَهُ بِاِعتِذارِ مُحتَشِمِ
3. A craft that is only proper for one
Who has the instrument of nobility
٣. صِناعَةٌ إِنَّما تَصِحُّ لِمَن
كانَت لَهُ آلَةً مِنَ الكَرَمِ
