أخٍ مزجت بروحي روحه جرى

مني كمجرى دمي في الجسم أفديه

A brother whose spirit mingles with mine

Flows from me as my blood flows through my body, I would ransom him

ثم اتفقنا على ألقاب سالفنا

فصرت في كل حالٍ ما أضاهيه

Then we agreed on names for our past

So I became, in every case, his equal

أهدى إلي دواةً لو كتبت بها

دهري أياديه لم تنفد أياديه

He gifted me a pen, if I were to write with it

My lifetime, his hands would not be depleted, his hands
