1. May God reward Ṣāliḥ on my behalf for his fidelity,

    and I shall repay him many times over in return.

  2. After him, I tested other men by the measure of his friendship,

    yet I only grew more eager for his companionship.

  3. A true friend: whenever I came asking him for a favor,

    I returned with what I sought, my face’s water—my dignity—still intact.
