1. My slow-paced brother has shown me loyalty
Though he betrayed me one day, or kin were cold and aloof
١. أخٌ لي بطيءُ الَّيرِ عَنِّي وفاؤهُ
وإن خانَ يوماً أو جَفا الخِلّ أوْ جَفا
2. They shunned me when my water was muddied
Then cleared toward me when the drink turned pure
٢. جَفاني لمَّا أنْ تكدَّرَ مَشرَبَي
عَلَيَّ فلمَّا أنْ صَفا الشربُ أَنصَفا
