By Allah, if I had wealth, I would have hoarded it,

والله لا كان لي مال أضن به

1. By Allah, if I had wealth, I would have hoarded it,
And not asked for anything except success.

١. واللَّه لا كان لِي مالٌ أضِنّ به
ولا رددتُ بغير النُّجْحِ سُؤّالي

2. I would have stored nothing but generosity and honor
As treasures I did not lock with keys.

٢. ولا اِدَّخرتُ سوى جودٍ ومكرُمةٍ
ذَخائراً لم أبتْ فيها بأوجالِ

3. Wealth is my wealth when I am generous one day,
And what I left behind is not mine.

٣. المالُ مالي إِذا يوماً سمحتُ به
وما تركتُ ورائي ليس من مالي

4. Tomorrow I will be tossed in a barren wasteland,
Smooth and vacant on the side of separation.

٤. وفي غدٍ أنا مرموسٌ بمقفرةٍ
ملْساءَ عاطلةٍ من جانبِ الخالِ

5. Separation, even if I had family and roots,
Shame, even if I had on robes.

٥. خالٍ وإنْ كنتُ ذا أهلٍ وذا نَشَبٍ
عارٍ وإن كان بالبَوْغاء سِربالي
