1. حَباني بِأَحسَنِ إِحسانِهِ

    وَما زالَ ذَلِكَ مِن شانِهِ

    He favored me with his finest kindness,

    and such has always been his way.

  2. أَخٌ لِيَ تَقضي مُراعاتُهُ

    حُقوقَ مُهِمّاتِ إِخوانِهِ

    A brother of mine, whose care fulfills

    the obligations his brothers’ pressing needs impose.

  3. إِذا السِرُّ خافَ عَلى نَفسِهِ

    غَدا في حِمايَةِ كِتمانِهِ

    When a secret fears for itself,

    it comes under the protection of his discretion.
