1. أَخٌ طاهِرُ الأَخلاقِ عَذبٌ كَأَنَّهُ

    جَنا النَحلِ مَمزوجاً بِماءِ غُمامِ

    A brother of pure character, sweet, as though he were

    the bees’ honey mingled with water from clouds.

  2. يَزيدُ عَلى الأَيّامِ فَضلُ مَوَّدَةٍ

    وَشِدَّةُ إِخلاصٍ وَرَعيَ ذِمامِ

    His abundant affection grows with the passing days,

    as do his deep sincerity and his care for bonds of loyalty.
