أَخٌ طاهِرُ الأَخلاقِ عَذبٌ كَأَنَّهُ

جَنا النَحلِ مَمزوجاً بِماءِ غُمامِ

A brother of pure character, sweet as though he were

A brother of pure character, sweet as though he were

A bee garden blended with rain cloud water.

The harvest of bees blended with the water of clouds;

يَزيدُ عَلى الأَيّامِ فَضلُ مَوَّدَةٍ

وَشِدَّةُ إِخلاصٍ وَرَعيَ ذِمامِ

His excellence grows beyond days, with affection

He increases, as days pass, in the bounty of affection,

And loyalty's intensity, pious self-restraint.

In strength of sincerity, and the guarding of covenants.
