He has been rescued from the vicissitudes of time by companions

يفديه من نوب الزمان معاشر

1. He has been rescued from the vicissitudes of time by companions
Whose freedom cannot be equated to that of a slave

١. يَفديه من نُوَبِ الزمانِ مَعاشِرٌ
أحرارُهم لا يلحقون بعبده

2. The ugliness of their deeds has revealed the beauty of his actions
And the merit of a thing is known by contrasting it with its opposite

٢. أبدَت مقابحَهم محاسنُ فعلهِ
والضِدُّ يُعرَفُ فضلُه في ضدِّه

3. I did not know the value of what I was granted
In his proximity until I was cast far from him

٣. ما كنتُ أعرفُ قدرَ ما خُوِّلتُه
من قُربه حتّى رُمِيتُ ببعده
