دلَّ على عزِّ والديْهِ

واشتدّ مع لين جانبيْهِ

He showed the honor of his parents,

And was gentle, though firm in his dealings,

زاد هَوانا لديَّ لمَّا

أن قُضِيَتْ حاجتي لديْهِ

He became more beloved to me when

He fulfilled my request through him,

يٌقطَعُ في طَرفِهِ فيُجْزَي

سُوءاً وما القطْعُ في يديْهِ

Whoever betrays him shall be severed

And rewarded with evil, though not by his hands.
