جَزى الرَحمَنُ أَفضَلَ ما يُجازى

عَلى الإِحسانِ خَيراً مِن صَديقِ

The Most Merciful rewards the best of rewards

For kindness, better than a friend

فَقَد جَرَّبتُ إِخواني جَميعاً

فَما أَلفَيتُ كَاِبنَ أَبي عَتيقِ

For I have tried all my brothers

But did not find like the son of Abi Atiq

سَعى في جَمعِ شَملي بَعدَ صَدعٍ

وَرَأيٍ هِدتُ فيهِ عَنِ الطَريقِ

He strove to reunite me after estrangement

And I was guided by his view from the wrong path

وَأَطفَءُ لَوعَةً كانَت بِقَلبي

أَغَصَّتني حَرارَتُها بَريقي

And he extinguished an anxiety that was in my heart

Whose heat choked my saliva
