1. يا حارِ مَن يَغدِر بِذِمَّةِ جارِهِ

    مِنكُم فَإِن مُحَمَّداً لَم يَغدِر

    O Harith, if anyone betrays his neighbor's covenant

    Among you, then surely Muhammad has not betrayed.

  2. إِن تَغدِروا فَالغَدرُ مِنكُم شيمَةٌ

    وَالغَدرُ يَنبُتُ في أُصولِ السَخبَرِ

    If you betray, then treachery is a trait of yours,

    And treachery grows in the roots of the sakhbar shrub.

  3. وَأَمانَةُ المُرِّيِّ حَيثُ لَقَيتَهُ

    مِثلُ الزُجاجَةِ صَدعُها لَم يُجبَرِ

    And the Murri's trustworthiness, wherever you meet him,

    Is like a glass vessel whose crack has not been mended.
