1. وَحُلَّةٍ مِن أَنعُمِ الإِنعامِ

    أَلبَسَنيها حافِظُ الذِمامِ

    And a robe, among the finest gifts—

    A keeper of pledges clothed me in it:

  2. أَخٌ سَجاياهُ عَلى نِظامٍ

    لَهُ نَدىً يُقصِرُ كُلَّ خامِ

    A brother whose virtues are in harmony.

    His bounty makes all that is unrefined fall short.

  3. إِذا اِنتَقَدناهُ مَعَ الأَنامِ

    كانَ لَهُ صَرفٌ عَلى الكِرامِ

    When we assay him alongside humankind,

    He commands a premium over the noble.
