مَتى تَلقَ إِبراهيمَ تَعرِف فُضولَهُ
بِنورٍ عَلى خَدَّيهِ أَنجَحَ سائِلُه
Whenever you meet Ibrahim, you know his munificence
by the radiance upon his cheeks; his petitioner succeeds.
تَصَعَّدُ كَفّاهُ عَلى كُلِّ غايَةٍ
مِنَ المَجدِ لا تُندي الصَديقَ غَوائِلُه
Both his hands rise above every summit
of glory; no harm of his ever draws near a friend.
بَلِ الجودُ وَالأَفضالُ مِنهُ عَلَيهِمُ
كَغَيثِ رَبيعٍ كَدَّرَ الغَيثَ وابِلُه
Rather, his generosity and favors fall upon them
like spring rain whose cloudburst churns the rainwater dark.
Sol 5.6
