1. I seek what the generous seek of sustenance
I seek the best for myself and make the most beautiful requests

2. I saw the generous youth, if
You incite him to a craft, he is inclined

3. The slave does not seek exaltation, nor
Does he give you anything if he is timid

4. I did not find the bond of creation tighter than
Religion when I reflected and took account

5. The one who stays put may be granted sustenance while the one
Who travels the land restlessly gets no profit

6. The one with ambition and traveling gear is deprived of wealth
As well as the one who remains far from home
