وزِد التقارب واستزدْهُ

Draw your friend close whenever he grows distant,

Bring your friend closer whoever is far away

increase the closeness, and ask him for still more of it.

Increase intimacy and add more to it

وإذا وَهَتْ أركان وُدْ

وإذا وَهَتْ أركان وُدْ

دٍ من أخي ثقة فَشٍدْهُ

دٍ من أخي ثقة فَشٍدْهُ

And if the pillars of affection

And if the pillars of love for a brother

from a trusted brother grow weak, then strengthen it.
