إِذا رَماكَ خَليلٌ

إِذا رَماكَ خَليلٌ

بِأَسهُمٍ مِن جَفائِه

بِأَسهُمٍ مِن جَفائِه

If a close friend shoots at you

When a friend casts at you arrows

With arrows of his coldness,

Of his betrayal without cause,

لِغَيرِ جُرمٍ فَكُن قا

لِغَيرِ جُرمٍ فَكُن قا

طِعاً لِحَبلِ إِخائِه

طِعاً لِحَبلِ إِخائِه

For no fault of yours, then be one who cuts

Stand like a smooth rock in a pool,

The cord of his friendship.

Unmoved by the swirling currents.
