يا رَوضَةَ الجودِ وَالسَخاءِ

وَمُزنَةَ البِرِّ وَالحِباءِ

Oh garden of generosity and munificence

Abode of righteousness and affection

أَخوكَ قَد زارَهُ صَديقٌ

أَرقَ طَبعاً مِنَ الهَواءِ

Your brother has been visited by a friend

Of finer temperament than the breeze

فَاِبذُل لَهُ قَطرَميزَ راحٍ

بِقَطرَميزٍ مِنَ الثَناءِ

So extend to him a drop of comfort

With a drop of praise
