لا يُبعِدِ اللَهُ إِذ وَدَّعتُ أَرضَهُمُ

أَخي بَغيضاً وَلَكِن غَيرُهُ بَعُدا

Allah does not distance one who bid farewell to their land

My bothersome brother, but distance did the parting

لا يُبعِدِ اللَهُ مَن يُعطي الجَزيلَ وَمَن

يَحبو الجَليلَ وَما أَكدى وَلا نَكِدا

Allah does not distance one who gives plenty and one who

Loves the glorious, neither stingy nor hostile was he

وَمَن تُلاقيهِ بِالمَعروفِ مُبتَهِجاً

إِذا اِجرَهَدَّ صَفا المَذمُومِ أَو صَلَدا

One whom you meet with kindness, delighted

If he persevered, he purified the blameworthy and froze folly

لاقَيتُهُ ثَلِجاً تَندى أَنامِلُهُ

إِن يُعطِكَ اليَومَ لا يَمنَعكَ ذاكَ غَدا

I met him cool as ice, his fingers dripping

If he gives you today, nothing prevents him tomorrow

إِنّي لَرافِدُهُ وُدّي وَمَنصَرَتي

وَحافِظٌ غَيبَهُ إِن غابَ أَو شَهِدا

I am his aid, my love and alliance

And keeper of his absence whether he's gone or witnessed
