لا تبخَلن وأعطِ كلاَّ حقَّه

وتواضعنَّ وجالِسِ المُسْكِينَا

Do not be stingy, give each their due rights

Be humble, sit with the poor

إياكَ والسرَّ الذي أوزعتَه

لوْ ناقشوك بدونه مَدْفُونَا

Beware of the secret you have confided

If discussed without it, you would be buried

فإذا أردتَ دوامَ شىء هكذا

وإذا أردتم ضدّه فاعصُونَا

If you want something to last forever

And if you want the opposite, disobey us

لا يستوى حلٌّ وعقدٌ بينكم

هذا يحلُّ وذاك يعقدُ حينَا

Right and wrong are not equal amongst you

This one makes lawful, that one forbids at times

إن الخلاف مشتتٌ ومفرقٌ

ما بين آباء لهم وبنينَا

Disagreement divides and separates

Between fathers who have sons

طوبى لهم خلصوا وداداً بينهم

وجلبنَ رحمةَ ربهم يَرْجُونَا

Blessed are they who have reconciled in friendship

And hope for the mercy of their Lord

وأولئك القومُ الذينَ جزاؤهم

جناتُ عدن خالدين يقينَا

Those people whose reward

Are the Gardens of Eden, abiding eternally

إنا لنرجو فَوْزَنا بدعائهم

فالله يرحُمنا بِهم ويقينَا

We hope for success through their prayer

May God have mercy on us through them
