لَعَمرُ أَبيكَ لا يَنفَكُّ مِنّا
أَخو ثِقَةٍ يَعاشُ بِهِ مَتينُ
By your father's life, he will not depart from us
A trusted brother, with whom one can live secure
مُفيدٌ مُهلِكٌ وَلِزازُ خَصمٍ
عَلى الميزانِ ذو زِنَةٍ رَزينُ
Beneficial, deadly, and a stubborn foe's discomfiture
On the scales, of weighty consequence
يَزيدُ نَبالَةً عَن كُلِّ شَيءٍ
وَنافِلَةً وَبَعضُ القَومِ دونُ
He excels all things in nobility
And extras, while some of the people fall short
