The brother of glory, spending his kindness,

أخو المجد باذل إحسانه

1. The brother of glory, spending his kindness,
Will meet men as if they were his brothers.

١. أَخو المَجد باذلُ إِحسانِهِ
سَيَلقى الرِجال كَأَخدانِهِ

2. For kingship is naught but through supporters,
And a man is naught but through his comrades.

٢. فَما المُلك إِلّا بِأَعوانِهِ
وَما المَرء إِلّا بِإخوانِهِ

3. As the fist clasps with the wrist,
So strive, that you may be raised high

٣. كَما يَقبض الكَفُّ بِالمعصمِ
فَجُد تَغدُ علياك مَرفوعَةً

4. And flags against you laid low.
No good in a hand that's barred from giving,

٤. وَأَعلام ضدِّك مَوضوعَةً
فَلا بِرَّ في اليَد مَمنوعَةً

5. No good in a palm that's cut off from bounty,
No good in an arm that's bent and feeble.

٥. وَلا خَير في الكَفِّ مَقطوعَةً
وَلا خَير في الساعد الأَجزمِ
