1. Our father Malik enjoined
Umar and Auf, as he moved away,
١. أَوصى أَبونا مالِكٌ بِوِصايَةٍ
عَمراً وَعَوفاً إِذ تَجَهَّرَ غادِيا
2. To make your wealth and your swords
For your honor, so long as God saves the protector.
٢. بِأَن إِجعَلوا أَموالَكُم وَسُيوفَكُم
لِأَعراضِكُم ما سَلَّمَ اللَهُ واقِيا
3. So we said to him, when he said what he said, welcome!
You have commanded good and sufficiently advised.
٣. فَقُلنا لَهُ إِذ قالَ ما قالَ مَرحَباً
أَمَرتَ بِمَعروفٍ وَأَوصَيتَ كافِيا
