خُذ مِن أَخيكَ العَفوَ وَاِغفِر ذُنوبَهُ

وَلا تَكُ في كُلِّ الأُمورِ تُعاتِبُهْ

Take forgiveness from your brother and forgive his sins

And do not always blame him for everything

فَإِنَّكَ لَن تَلقى أَخاكَ مُهَذَّباً

وَأَيُّ اِمرىءٍ يَنجو مِنَ العَيبِ صاحِبُهْ

For you will never find a brother free of fault

And what man escapes from the flaws of his companion?

أَخوكَ الَّذي لا يَنقُضُ النَأيُ عَهدَهُ

وَلا عِندَ صَرفِ الدَهرِ يَزوَرُّ جانِبُهْ

Your brother whose covenant exile does not break

Nor in the turning of fate does he change his side

وَلَيسَ الَّذي يَلقاكَ بِالبِشرِ وَالرِضا

وَإِن غِبتَ عَنهُ لَسَّعَتكَ عَقارِبُهْ

And he who meets you with joy and pleasure

If you are absent from him, his scorpions sting you
