I have a cousin, four years old

لي ابن عم بالغ أربعا

1. I have a cousin, four years old
Or less by a few months untold

١. لِيَ ابْنُ عَمٍّ بَالِغٌ أَرْبَعاً
مِنْ عُمرِهِ أَوْ دُونَهَا أَشْهُرَا

2. Fair of face, golden hair
Lips like a treasure, gems they bear

٢. طَلْقُ المُحَيَّا شَعْرُهُ مُذْهَبٌ
وَثَغْرُهُ كَنْزٌ حَوَى جَوْهَرَا

3. Strutting proudly like a soldier
Yet no one loves a child so bold

٣. يَخْتَالُ كَالجُنْدِيِّ مُسْتَكْبِراً
وَمَا أَحَبَّ الطِّفلَ مُسْتَكْبِرَا

4. His nanny said, when one day
He walked polite, deserve you pay

٤. قالَتْ لَهُ المُرْضِعُ يَوْماً وَقدْ
أَحْسَنَ سَيْراً حَقَّ أَنْ تُؤْجَرَا

5. Come, we’ll visit grandma, wear
Your fine coat, her joy to share

٥. هَيَّا نَزُرْ جَدَّتَكَ الآنَ يَا
بُنَيَّ فالْبَسْ ثَوْبَك الأَفخرَا

6. Off he ran like a gazelle, thrilled
To his room, excitement filled

٦. فرَاحَ مِثْلَ الظَّبْيِ يَعْدُو إِلى
غرْفتِهِ جَذْلان مُسْتبْشِرا

7. There perched a bird in a barren cage
Silent, lonesome, a prisoner for age

٧. وَكانَ فِي إِحْدَى الكُوَى طَائِرٌ
قَدْ أَوْدَعُوهُ قَفَصاً مُقْفِرا

8. The boy unlocked the cage, let fly
The bird. “Well done!” was his cry

٨. رَآهُ فِيهِ صَامِتاً مُوحَشاً
كَمَا يَكونُ الحُرُّ مُسْتَأْسرَا

9. “You seem eager to visit grandma dear
Then go, come back early, have no fear”

٩. فَفَتَحَ الْبَابَ لَهُ مُسْرِعاً
وَقَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ فخيْراً تَرى

١٠. أَراكَ مُشتَاقاً إِلى جَدَّة
تزورُهَا فَاذْهَب وَعُدْ مُبْكِرَا
