Your brother saw what you saw

وكان أخاك يرى ما رأيت

1. Your brother saw what you saw
And whatever you called him to, he responded

١. وَكانَ أَخاكَ يَرى ما رَأَي
تَ وَمَهما دَعَوت إِلَيهِ أَجابا

2. But when you did wrong and were a man
Who when he borrowed, forgot the account

٢. فَلَمَّا أَسَأتَ وَكُنتَ اِمرءاً
إِذا ما اِقتَرَضتَ نَسيتَ الحِسابا

3. He turned away one leg, climbing
And settled on the other, and said perhaps this is a rebuke

٣. ثَنى قَدَما صاعِداً وَاِطمَأَنْ
نَ بِأُخرى وَقالَ لَعَلَّ العِتابا

4. But when you refused the refusal of the free
He turned away its sister, so bid farewell to the clouds

٤. فَلَمّا أَبيتَ إِباءَ الحرونِ
ثَنى أُختَها فَتبوا السَّحابا

5. So how did you see your brother whom
You did wrong with, yet found reward

٥. فَكَيفَ رَأَيتَ أَخاكَ الَّذي
أَسَأتَ بِهِ وَوَجدتَ الثَّوابا
