وَعانَقتهُ مِثلَ المُسلّمِ قائِما

وَقَد قامَ تِلقائي لأَجلِ وَداعِ

I embraced him like a Muslim standing

Though he had arisen of his own accord to bid farewell

لِخَوفي مِنَ الأَعداءِ أَن يَشمَتوا بِنا

وَقَفتُ لَدَيهِ مثل مُثنٍ وَداعي

Fearing our foes' gloating over our plight

I stood by him like one about to part, bidding adieu
