خَلِّ العَدوَّ فَدَهرُهُ

يَشفيكَ مِنهُ صُروفُهُ

Leave the enemy, for time

Will heal you of him and his ways

وَالوَعدُ دَينٌ وَالعَطا

مُستَعيَبٌ تَسويفُهُ

A promise is a debt, a gift

Blamed if delayed in the giving

إِنَّ الكَريمَ مُخَلَّدٌ

وَحَياتُهُ مَعروفُهُ

The generous man lives forever

His life is known and praised
