عِنْدِي أَخٌ لَكَ مَاجِدٌ

مِنْ كُلِّ فَاحِشَةٍ مُعَرَّى

My brother, you have sublime virtues

Free from any vice

وَإِوِزَّةٌ سِكْبَاجَةٌ

وَالجَدْيُ يُؤْكَلُ بِالجُفُرَّى

A generous, open-handed man

Who shares his bounty without restraint

وَلَنَا طَبَاهِجَةٌ تَفُو

حُ كَأَنَّهَا العُودُ المُطَرَّى

We have a sunlit meadow

As fragrant as frankincense

وَمُدَامَةٌ وَرْدِيَّةٌ

مَخْبُوَّةٌ مِنْ عَهْدِ كِسْرَى

A rosy-cheeked beauty

Treasured since the days of Chosroes

وَتَحِيَّةٌ كَجَمَالِ وَجْ

هِكِ أَوْ كَكُتْبِكَ حِيْنَ تُقْرَأ

A greeting as fair as your face

Or your books when recited

وَحَدِيْثُنَا مِثْلُ الرِّيَا

ضِ يَمُرُّ مَنْظُومَاً وَنَثْرَا

Our talk like a garden stream

Flowing in rhyme and prose

فاجْمَعْ بِقُرْبِكَ شَمْلَنَا

لاَ زِلْتَ لِلإِخْوَانِ ذُخْرَا

So gather our clan in your care

You remain a treasure to your brothers
