You will be enriched if you devote yourself as a treasurer to words,

سترعى إذا ألفيت للفظ خازنا

1. You will be enriched if you devote yourself as a treasurer to words,
And you will prosper if you refine gold as a treasurer.

١. سَتُرعى إِذا أُلفيتَ لِلَفظِ خازِناً
وَتُدهى إِذا حَسَّنَت لِلذَهَبِ الخَزنا

2. So speak with care, weigh your words, spend
Your hands with what you were given, in measure or without.

٢. فَأَنفِق بِميزانٍ مَقالَكَ وَاِبتَعِث
يَدَيكَ بِما أوتيتَ وَزناً وَلا وَزنا

3. And how many women raise youths like palm trees
Then grieve for the children they could not have.

٣. وَكَم نِسوَةٍ رَبَّينَ كَالنَخلِ فِتيَةً
فَحُزنَ بِما أَمكَنَّ مِن وَلَدٍ حُزنا
