بِنَفسي أَخٌ لي خَلقُهُ مِثلُ خُلقِهِ

يِشَفُّ لِوُدّي مِنهُ جَوهَرُ رِفقِهِ

My own soul is a brother to me, his nature is like my nature

The essence of his kindness heals my affection for him

إِذا مَرَّ قَصدُ المَرءِ يَسحَبُ ذَيلَهُ

إِلى جودِهِ المَوجودِ قامَ بِحَقِّهِ

When a man's aim passes by, he drags his tail

To his innate generosity, he stands by his right

لَو أَبصَرَتِ الحُذّاقُ مِن صاغَةِ النَدى

حُلِيَّ عَطاياهُ أَقَرَّت بِحِذقِهِ

If the connoisseurs could see the one who pours the dew

The adornments of his gifts, they would acknowledge his skill
