1. I prepare that benevolence as surplus
And how many a group were stingy and lived in luxury
١. أُعِدُّ لِبَذلِكَ الإِحسانَ فَضلاً
وَكَم مِن مَعشَرٍ بَخِلوا وَسادوا
2. So be generous if you wish for profitable nights
For generosity has no place in a slumped market
٢. فَجُد إِن شِئتَ مَربَحَةَ اللَيالي
فَما لِلجودِ في سوقٍ كَسادُ
3. I refused money, a house of words
When will it decrease, the damage will be patched with it
٣. أَبَيتُ المالَ بَيتٌ مِن مَقالٍ
مَتّى يُنقَص يُلَمُّ بِهِ الفَسادُ
