1. وَإِنّي لَسَهلُ الوَجهِ يُعرَفُ مَجلِسي

    إِذا اَحزَنَ القاذورَةُ المُتَعَبِّسُ

    And I am indeed welcoming of face; my gathering place is known,

    when the ill-tempered scowler grows harsh.

  2. يُضيءُ سَنا جودي لِمَن يَبتَغي القِرى

    وَلَيلُ بَخيلِ القَومِ ظَلماءُ حِندَسُ

    The radiance of my generosity shines for whoever seeks hospitality,

    while the night of the people's miser is pitch-black darkness.

  3. أَلينُ لِذي القُربى مِراراً وَتَكتَوي

    بِأَعناقٍ أَعدائي حِبالٌ تَمَرَّسُ

    I am gentle with my kin time and again, while there burn

    around my enemies' necks ropes that chafe.
