I have a brother, though his manner is fierce

أخ لي أما خلقه فمطهم

1. I have a brother, though his manner is fierce
He is handsome, yet his character is ugly

١. أخٌ لي أمَّا خَلْقُهُ فُمطَهَّمٌ
جَميلٌ وأمّا خُلْقُهُ فَقَبيحُ

2. He has arrows which he has feathered with his disdain
And my heart is wounded by those arrows

٢. لهُ أسهمٌ قد راشَها بجَفائهِ
وقَلبي مِن تِلكَ السِّهامِ جَريحُ

3. His promises are but wind, and no good comes from a youth
Whose promises in the face of facts, are but wind

٣. مواعِيدُه رِيحٌ ولا خيرَ في فتىً
مواعيدُهُ عِندَ الحقائقِ رِيحُ
