سَقى غُصُني وَبلُ العَطاءِ فَأَورَقا

أَخٌ خُلقُهُ كَالرَوضِ حُسناً وَرَنَقا

He watered my branches, and the rain of generosity made them leaf

A brother whose nature is beautiful as a garden, and elegant

تَرى جاهَهُ لِلمُستَغيثينَ ناصِراً

وَمَعروفُهُ لِلمُستَميحينَ مونِقا

You see his prominence as a helper for those seeking help

And his kindness to those seeking favor is continuous

هُوَ المَرءُ لَو كانَت خَصائِلُهُ حُلىً

لَكانَ بِها جيدُ الزَمانِ مُطَوَّقا

He is the man, if his virtues were necklaces

The neck of time would have been adorned by them
