داوِ بِالرِفقِ جِراحاتِ الخَرَق

وَابلِ قَبلَ الحَمدِ وَالذَمِّ وَذُق

Heal with gentleness the wounds of rupture,

And meet blame and praise with gratitude and acceptance.

وَسِعَ الناسَ بِخُلقٍ حَسَنٍ

لَم يَضِق شَيءٌ عَلى حُسنِ الخُلُق

Make people comfortable with good manners,

Nothing is too tight for one with good manners.

كُلُّ مَن لَم تَتَّسِع أَخلاقُهُ

بَعُدَ الإِحسانُ مِنهُ وَسَحُق

Whoever's manners do not expand,

Kindness has departed from him and dissolved.

كَم تَرانا يَأَخي نَبقى عَلى

جَوَلانِ المَوتِ في هَذا الأُفُق

How long, my brother, will we remain

Wandering in the lands of death in this horizon?

نَحنُ أَرسالٌ إِلى دارِ البَلى

نَتَوالى عُنُقاً بَعدَ عُنُق

We are messengers to the abode of annihilation,

Neck after neck we go.
