أَجَميلُ ما لَكَ لا تُجيبُ أَخاكا

ماذا الَّذي بِاللَهِ أَنتَ دَهاكا

How beautiful that you do not answer your brother

What is it, by Allah, that has made you so arrogant?

أَغِنىً ظَفِرتَ بِهِ فَإِنّي في غِنىً

مِن نِعمَةِ اللَهِ الَّتي أَعطاكا

You have gained riches, but I have no need

Of the blessings of Allah that He has bestowed upon you

بَل لا نَسيتَ وَلا أَلومُكَ خُلَّتي

وَلَئِن فَعَلتَ لَحادِثٌ أَنساكا

Rather, I have not forgotten, and I do not blame you, my friend

And if you have, it is an incident that made you forget

سَتَلومُ يَوماً سوءَ رَأيِكَ إِنَّهُ

رَأيٌ غَوِيٌّ طالَما أَرداكا

One day you will lament your poor judgement, for it

Is an errant opinion that has long led you astray
