يَفديهما أَخوين قَلب الواحد
وَيَقيهما شرّ الرَقيب الحاسد
Every man’s heart would ransom the two brothers,
and shield them both from the malice of the watchful envier.
غُصنان قَد نَشأ بِرَوض ملاحة
فَكَأَنَّما سَقيا بِماء واحد
Two boughs that have sprung up in a garden of beauty,
as though they had been watered with the selfsame water.
ما رُحت أَشكو مَن أَخ صلة الضَنا
إِلّا وَكانَ أَخوهُ مِنها عائِدي
Never did I complain of a wasting attachment to one brother
but that his brother came to visit me in my illness from it.
