I found the two Suhayls alike in the generosity within them,
I found the two Suhayls equal in generosity,
though, in a judge’s reckoning, this one stands far from that.
despite the distance between one and the other, in a judge’s judgment.

Suhayl ibn Uthman is generous with his wealth,
Suhayl ibn Uthman is generous with his wealth,
just as Suhayl ibn Salim was prodigal with lives.
just as Suhayl ibn Salim was generous with his sore backside.
