لا تَفرَحَنَّ بِما ظَفِرتَ بِهِ

لا تَفرَحَنَّ بِما ظَفِرتَ بِهِ

وَإِذا نُكِبتَ فَأَظهِرِ الجَلَدا

وَإِذا نُكِبتَ فَأَظهِرِ الجَلَدا

Do not exult in what you have gained.

Do not rejoice in what you have gained

And when misfortune strikes you, show fortitude.

And if you stumble, show patience

وَإِذا نَطَقتَ فَلا تَكُن هَذِراً

وَإِذا نَطَقتَ فَلا تَكُن هَذِراً

وَاِقصِد فَخَيرُ الناسِ مَن قَصَدا

وَاِقصِد فَخَيرُ الناسِ مَن قَصَدا

And when you speak, do not be a babbler.

When you speak, do not babble

And be moderate, for the best of people are those who are moderate.

Aim right, for the best people are those who aim right

وَاِحفَظ أَخاكَ لِما رَجاكَ لَهُ

وَاِحفَظ أَخاكَ لِما رَجاكَ لَهُ

وَإِذا دَعاكَ فَكُن لَهُ عَضَدا

وَإِذا دَعاكَ فَكُن لَهُ عَضَدا

And care for your brother in what he looks to you for.

Guard your brother for what you hope from him

And when he calls on you, be a supporting arm for him.

And when he calls you, be a support for him

وَاِرفَع نَواظِرَهُ وَكُن سَنَداً

وَاِرفَع نَواظِرَهُ وَكُن سَنَداً

فَلَقَد يَكونُ أَخو الرِضا سَنَدا

فَلَقَد يَكونُ أَخو الرِضا سَنَدا

And raise his gaze, and be a support.

Raise his sights and be a pillar for him

For a contented brother may indeed be a support.

For the brother of acceptance can indeed be a pillar

وَتَعاهَدِ الإِخوانَ إِنَّهُمُ

وَتَعاهَدِ الإِخوانَ إِنَّهُمُ

زَينُ المَغيبِ وَزَينُ مَن شَهِدا

زَينُ المَغيبِ وَزَينُ مَن شَهِدا

And keep in touch with your brothers, for they are

Bring the brothers together, they are

An adornment in absence and an adornment to those present.

An adornment of the absent and the present
