1. أخي بالوفا بالود بالخلق الأسنى

    اعد نظراً واعطف على خلك المضنى

    My brother in loyalty, in affection, and in the noblest character,

    Look again, and show tenderness to your languishing friend.

  2. حريز الهوى ما ضل عنكم ولا غوى

    محب صحيح الود أخلاقه حسنى

    Steadfast in love, he has neither strayed from you nor lost his way:

    A lover true in affection, whose character is beautiful.

  3. ملكت له قلباً وسمعاً وناظراً

    حماها الوفا إن لا يحل لها مغنى

    You have taken possession of his heart, his hearing, and his eye.

    Loyalty has guarded them, if no dwelling is permitted them.

  4. دع الصد يا مفضال وارحم متيماً

    كفاه الذي قد كان يا كامل المعنى

    Leave off shunning, O generous one, and pity one enslaved by love.

    What has already befallen him is enough, O you perfect in every sense.
