إِنَّما جاري لَعَمري

فَاِعلَموا أَدنى عِيالي

My neighbor is truly

Like my own family

وَأَرى لِلجارِ حَقّاً

كَيَميني مِن شِمالي

I see my neighbor's rights

As my right hand to my left

وَأَرى ناقَةَ جاري

فَاِعلَموا مِثلَ جِمالي

And I see my neighbor's camel

Like my own camel

إِنَّما ناقَةُ جاري

في جِواري وَظِلالي

For my neighbor's camel

Is under my care and shade

إِنَّ لِلجارِ عَلَينا

دَفعَ ضَيمٍ بِالعَوالي

We owe our neighbor

Protection from harm

فَأَقِلّي اللَومَ مَهلاً

دونَ عِرضِ الجارِ مالي

So refrain from blaming

Don't dishonor my neighbor

سَأَودي حَقَّ جاري

وَيَدي رَهنُ فِعالي

I will fulfill my neighbor's rights

My hand guarantees my actions

أَو أَرى الموتَ فَيَبقى

لُؤمُهُ عِندَ رِجالي

Or I face death, leaving

Shame with my tribe
