أُحِبُّ مِنَ الإِخْوَانِ كُلَّ مُوَاتِي

وَكُلَّ غَضِيضِ الطَّرْفِ عَنْ عَثَرَاتِي

I love every brother who is kind to me

And overlooks my every slip and fault

يُوَافِقُنِي فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ أُرِيدُهُ

وَيَحْفَظُنِي حَيًّا وَبَعْدَ مَمَاتِي

He agrees with me in all I want

And guards me alive and after my death

فَمَنْ لِي بِهَذَا لَيْتَ أَنِّي أَصَبْتُهُ

فَقَاسَمْتُهُ مَا لِي مِنَ الحَسَنَاتِ

Oh, if only I could find such a one

With whom to share my every good deed

تَصَفَّحْتُ إِخْوَانِي فَكَانَ أَقَلَّهُمْ

عَلَى كَثْرَةِ الإِخْوَانِ أَهْلُ ثِقَاتِ

I surveyed my brothers but the least of them

For all the many brothers were men of trust
