دارِ الصَديقَ إِذا تَشَعَّبَ خُلقُهُ

دارِ الصَديقَ إِذا تَشَعَّبَ خُلقُهُ

وَاِجبُر رِضاكَ عَلى مَغوثَةِ ذَنبِهِ

وَاِجبُر رِضاكَ عَلى مَغوثَةِ ذَنبِهِ

Humor your friend when his disposition grows erratic.

A friend's home when flaws abound

And compel your goodwill to come to his fault’s aid.

Reproach with grace so he's unbound

لا تَجعَلَنَّ لِيَ العِتابَ عُقوبَةً

لا تَجعَلَنَّ لِيَ العِتابَ عُقوبَةً

فَلَرُبَّما دُهِيَ الفَتى مِن عَتبِهِ

فَلَرُبَّما دُهِيَ الفَتى مِن عَتبِهِ

Do not make reproach a punishment for me,

Chastise me not in punishment

For a young man may well be undone by reproach directed at him.

Lest hurt by your discontent
