أخي بالوفا بالود بالخلق الأسنى

اعد نظراً واعطف على خلك المضنى

My brother in loyalty, affection, and good manners

Reconsider, and show compassion for your weary friend

حريز الهوى ما ضل عنكم ولا غوى

محب صحيح الود أخلاقه حسنى

The protector of love never strayed or was misguided

A true loving friend, his manners are of the best

ملكت له قلباً وسمعاً وناظراً

حماها الوفا إن لا يحل لها مغنى

I gave him my heart, hearing and sight

Loyalty protects them, as there is no other refuge

دع الصد يا مفضال وارحم متيماً

كفاه الذي قد كان يا كامل المعنى

Leave the rejection, O virtuous one, and have mercy on an enamored one

What has passed is enough, O perfect in meaning
