لي صاحبٌ أَضحى لودِّي مُحْرزَاً

ولكلِّ مل يهواه قَلْبي مُنْجِزا

I have a friend whose affection has become indispensable to me

And whatever my heart desired, he fulfilled

لمَّا رأَى برِّي له مُتَوَاصلاً

ورأَى قَضَاءَ الحَقِّ عَنْهُ مُعْوزَا

When he saw my kindness to him was unceasing

And he saw the course of truth left him bereft

أَهدى إِليَّ مَثُوبَةً من أَخذِه

عرْضي جزاه الله عَنْ هَذَا الجَزَا

He gifted me a reward for my taking

My honor, may God reward him for this reward
