فديت أخا يواصلني بكتب

أسر من البشارة حين تأتي
I would give my life for a brother who keeps in touch with me through letters,
I ransom a brother who keeps in touch with letters
More gladdening than good tidings when they arrive.
Bearing good news when they come
أخa brother لمdid not يرضbe satisfied ليfor me بالوصلwith fellowship حتىuntil
أخ لم يرض لي بالوصل حتى

حباني بالبقية من حياتي
A brother who did not deem fellowship enough for me until
A brother who was not satisfied with staying connected
He bestowed on me the remainder of my life.
Until he gifted me the remainder of my life
