وَنِعمَand how fine أَخوa brother to الصُعلوكِthe poor man أَمسِyesterday تَرَكتُهُI left him
وَنِعمَ أَخو الصُعلوكِ أَمسِ تَرَكتُهُ
بِتَضروعَat Taḍrūʿ يَمريhe scrabbles بِاليَدَينِwith both hands وَيَعسِفُand he gasps
بِتَضروعَ يَمري بِاليَدَينِ وَيَعسِفُ
And a fine brother to the poor was he whom I left yesterday,
How pleasant a vagrant’s brother was yesterday when I left him
At Taḍrūʿ, scrabbling with both hands and gasping.
Pleading as he rubbed his hands and importuned
