أَميلُ مَعَ الذِمامِ عَلى اِبنِ أُمّي

أَميلُ مَعَ الذِمامِ عَلى اِبنِ أُمّي

وَآخُذُ لِلصَديقِ مِنَ الشَقيقِ

وَآخُذُ لِلصَديقِ مِنَ الشَقيقِ

I side with the bond of loyalty against my mother's son,

I lean with the bush towards my mother's son,

And take from my own brother on a friend's behalf.

And I take from the loyal one for a friend;

وَإِن أَلفَيتَني حُرّاً مُطاعاً

وَإِن أَلفَيتَني حُرّاً مُطاعاً

فَإِنَّكَ واجِدي عَبدَ الصَديقِ

فَإِنَّكَ واجِدي عَبدَ الصَديقِ

And even if you find me free and obeyed,

And if you think me free, obeyed,

You will indeed find me a slave to my friend.

Then you will find me a slave of the loyal one;

أُفَرِّقُ بَينَ مَعروفي وَمَنّي

أُفَرِّقُ بَينَ مَعروفي وَمَنّي

وَأَجمَعُ بَينَ مالي وَالحُقوقِ

وَأَجمَعُ بَينَ مالي وَالحُقوقِ

I keep my kindness apart from reminding others of my favors,

I separate between my kindness and my grudge,

And join my wealth to rightful claims.

And I gather between my wealth and rights.
