لي صاحِبٌ حُرٌّ مِنَ الأَصحابِ

جَذَعُ التَواضُعِ قارِحُ الإِعجابِ

I have a friend, noble among companions,

The embodiment of humility, dispelling vanity,

يَفتَنُّ في المَعروفِ مِن مَعروفِهِ

مِثلَ اِفتِنانِ الغَيثِ في التَسكابِ

He is captivated by kindness through his kindness,

Like the captivation of rain in pouring down,

فَليَبقَ لي وَعَلَيَّ مِمَّن جاهُهُ

مُذ كانَ مُشتَمِلٌ عَلى أَسبابي

So may he remain for me and upon me, he who came to me

Since he took up my cause.
