وَكانَ أَخاكَ يَرى ما رَأَي

تَ وَمَهما دَعَوت إِلَيهِ أَجابا

Your brother saw what you saw

And whatever you called him to, he responded

فَلَمَّا أَسَأتَ وَكُنتَ اِمرءاً

إِذا ما اِقتَرَضتَ نَسيتَ الحِسابا

But when you did wrong and were a man

Who when he borrowed, forgot the account

ثَنى قَدَما صاعِداً وَاِطمَأَنْ

نَ بِأُخرى وَقالَ لَعَلَّ العِتابا

He turned away one leg, climbing

And settled on the other, and said perhaps this is a rebuke

فَلَمّا أَبيتَ إِباءَ الحرونِ

ثَنى أُختَها فَتبوا السَّحابا

But when you refused the refusal of the free

He turned away its sister, so bid farewell to the clouds

فَكَيفَ رَأَيتَ أَخاكَ الَّذي

أَسَأتَ بِهِ وَوَجدتَ الثَّوابا

So how did you see your brother whom

You did wrong with, yet found reward
