أَميلُ مع الذِّمام عَلى اِبن أُمّي

وَأَقضي لِلصَّديقِ عَلى الشَّقيقِ

I lean with the south wind upon the son of my mother

And I decide for the friend over the compatriot

أُفَرِّق بَين مَعروفي وَمَنّي

وَأَجمَعُ بَينَ مالي وَالحُقوقِ

I distinguish between my benefactor and my volunteer

And I bring together my money and rights

وَإِمّا تُلفِني حُرّاً مُطاعا

فَإِنَّك واجِدي عَبدَ الصَّديقِ

And if you meet me a free man, obeyed

Then you will find me a loyal slave
