وَإِنّي أَخوهُم عِندَ كُلِّ مُلِمَّةٍ

إِذا مُتُّ لَم يَلقَوا أَخاً لَهُمُ مِثلي

And I am their brother in every affliction,

When they die, they will not find a brother like me.

تَجودُ لَهُم نَفسي بِما مَلَكَت يَدي

وَنَصري فَلا فُحشي عَلَيهُم وَلا بُخلي

My soul gives generously to them with what my hands possess,

My help, so no shamefulness upon them, nor my stinginess.

وَمَولىً دَفَعتُ الدَرءَ عَنهُ تَكَرَّماً

وَلَو شِئتُ أَمسى وَهوَ مُغضٍ عَلى تَبلِ

And for a master whom I defend driving harm away from him out of nobility,

If I wished he would spend the evening angry with me out of disrespect,

وَلَكِنَّني أَحمي الذِمارَ وَأَنتَمي

إِلى سَعيِ آباءٍ نَمَوا شَرَفي قَبلي

But I protect those blamed and belong

To the path of fathers who grew my nobility before me.
