1. I remain morose though a thorn pricks your foot
And I rejoice if the hairdresser shaves your head
١. أَظَلُّ كَئيباً لَو تَشوكُكَ شَوكَةٌ
وَتَفرَحُ لَو دُهدِهتُ مِن رأسِ حالِقِ
2. How different I am from you in camaraderie
I deemed you true in myself though you were not truthful
٢. لَشتّانَ ما بَيني وَبَينِكَ في الإِخا
صَدَقتُكَ في نَفسي وَلَستَ بِصادِقِ
3. Awake from your slumber, confusion will not let you go unharmed
For you are a creation, not the Creator
٣. أَفِق عَنكَ لا يَذهَب بِكَ التّيهُ سالِماً
فَإِنَّكَ مَخلوقٌ وَلَستَ بِخالِقِ
4. And every brother is amiable to us when infatuated
But brothers are known in truth and verity
٤. وَكُلُّ أَخٍ عِندَ الهوَينا مُلاطِفٌ
وَلَكِنَّما الاخوان عِندَ الحَقائِقِ
