1. He who has a friend to aid his family,
And a lover who will shed tears for his beloved,
١. لِلَّه من والهٍ عانٍ بأسرَتهِ
ومن محبٍّ غدا يبكيه محبوبُ
2. As if he were Joseph in jail, persecuted,
And all dear ones in the neighborhood are Jacob.
٢. كأَنَّه يُوسفٌ في السِجن مُضطَهداً
وكُلُّ ذي خِلَّة في الحيِّ يَعقوبُ
