1. Do not hide provision for tomorrow or the day after
For each day brings its own provision with it

2. And do good for the least sustenance that will reach you
And for the Day of Resurrection you will find it gathered

3. So disperse your wealth as you wish disdaining little
For none will shed tears behind your bier

4. And do to others what you desire they would do to you
And let people hear what you choose for them to hear

5. And most people are like wolves, befriend them
If weakness in you is made plain, they will devour you
