إِذا ما قَصَدت الناس فَاِقصد أَخا نَدا

طَليق المَحيا مجزلاً في هِباتِهِ

When you intend to meet people, then intend a brother, friend,

Of radiant countenance, open-handed with his bounty;

فَإِن جِئتَهُ في الحَشر تَرجو نَوالَهُ

فَيُعطيك ما تَختار مِن حَسَناتِهِ

For if you come to him at the gathering hoping for his favor,

He will grant you the good things you choose from his virtues.
