كَفى الأَصدِقاءَ طِلابَ الأَعادي

وَقامَ بِواجِبِ حَقِّ الوِدادِ

Enough of seeking out enemies -

He has fulfilled the duty of true affection.

فَلَسنا نُفَرِّطُ في شُكرِهِ

عَلى كُلِّ طَودٍ وَفي كُلِّ وادِ

We will not neglect thanking him

For every help on each road.

فَتى إِن تَرَدّى لِإِنجادِنا

تَرَدّى بِكُلِّ طَويلِ النِجادِ

A gallant man, if he rushes to our aid,

Rushes with every long spear.

قَضى لِأَودّاءِ حَقَّ الوِدادِ

وَمَنَّ عَلَيهِم بِكَبتِ الأَعادي

He has fulfilled the right of affection for friends

And favored them by suppressing enemies.
