أُحِبُّ مِنَ الإِخْوَانِ كُلَّ مُوَاتِي

أُحِبُّ مِنَ الإِخْوَانِ كُلَّ مُوَاتِي

وَكُلَّ غَضِيضِ الطَّرْفِ عَنْ عَثَرَاتِي

وَكُلَّ غَضِيضِ الطَّرْفِ عَنْ عَثَرَاتِي

Among friends, I love every accommodating companion,

I love every brother who is kind to me

And everyone who averts his gaze from my missteps,

And overlooks my every slip and fault

يُوَافِقُنِي فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ أُرِيدُهُ

يُوَافِقُنِي فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ أُرِيدُهُ

وَيَحْفَظُنِي حَيًّا وَبَعْدَ مَمَاتِي

وَيَحْفَظُنِي حَيًّا وَبَعْدَ مَمَاتِي

Who agrees with me in every matter I desire,

He agrees with me in all I want

And protects me in life and after my death.

And guards me alive and after my death

فَمَنْ لِي بِهَذَا لَيْتَ أَنِّي أَصَبْتُهُ

فَمَنْ لِي بِهَذَا لَيْتَ أَنِّي أَصَبْتُهُ

فَقَاسَمْتُهُ مَا لِي مِنَ الحَسَنَاتِ

فَقَاسَمْتُهُ مَا لِي مِنَ الحَسَنَاتِ

Who, then, can find me such a friend? If only I could find him,

Oh, if only I could find such a one

Then I would share with him the good deeds I have.

With whom to share my every good deed

تَصَفَّحْتُ إِخْوَانِي فَكَانَ أَقَلَّهُمْ

تَصَفَّحْتُ إِخْوَانِي فَكَانَ أَقَلَّهُمْ

عَلَى كَثْرَةِ الإِخْوَانِ أَهْلُ ثِقَاتِ

عَلَى كَثْرَةِ الإِخْوَانِ أَهْلُ ثِقَاتِ

I examined my friends, and only a few of them,

I surveyed my brothers but the least of them

Despite their great number, were worthy of trust.

For all the many brothers were men of trust
