عجبت لعمر الله من جار جارة

لعرسك محمودٍ إذا الضيف ودَّعَهْ

I'm amazed at the neighbor of a neighbor

At your wedding, Mahmoud, when a guest bids him farewell

وإن كان يلقاه بأجهمِ طلعةٍ

وينزله في غير رحبٍ ولا سعهْ

Even if he meets him with a gloomy face

And lodges him not in a wide open or spacious place
