1. وَأَهلاً خَليلَ الفَضلِ وَالمَجدِ وَالعُلى

    وَأَنتَ خَليلي فيكَ يَشفى غَليلي

    And welcome, Khalil of virtue, glory, and eminence!

    And you are my dear friend; in you my burning thirst is quenched.

  2. وَلَستُ أَرى في النَّاسِ مِثلَكَ مِن فَتىً

    وَلَستُ أَرى في الفضلِ مِثلَ خَليلي

    And I see no young man among the people like you.

    And in virtue I see none like my dear friend.
