أَكْرَمْتَنِي فَوْقَ الْمُنَى

يَا شَيْخَنَا جُبْرَان شُكْرَا

You have honored me beyond wishes,

O our leader Jibran, I thank you,

ذَاكَ الَّذِي أَهْدَيْتَ مِنْ

وَحْيِ الوِدَادِ فَكَانَ شِعْرَا

That which you have gifted from,

The inspiration of affection, thus became poetry

هَيْهَاتَ أَنْ أَهْدَتْ بِحَا

رُ الشِّعْرِ أَغْلَى مِنْهُ دُرَّا

Alas! That I should gift the jewels of poetry,

More precious than it.

أَسْرَفْتَ فِي كُلِّ الْمَعَا

نِي يَا أَخِي فَضْلاً وَبِرّاً

You have been excessive in all meanings,

My brother, in kindness and righteousness.
