1. The prayers are obligatory like the obligations of prayers
And fulfilling promises is like fighting the enemies
١. كَفَرضِ الصَلاةِ فَروضُ الصِلاتِ
وَمَطلُ العِداتِ كَحَربِ العُداةِ
2. And whoever is generous after being stingy
Indeed the gift is the wage of the seekers
٢. وَمَن جادَ بَعدَ تَمادي المَطالِ
فَإِنَّ العَطِيَّةَ أَجرُ السُعاةِ
3. So how is a man confused in his thoughts
That procrastination is the ship of life
٣. فَكيفَ اِمرُؤٌ جالَ في فِكرِهِ
بِأَنَّ المَطالَ سَفينُ الحَياةِ
4. And does not admit that the water of bashfulness
With the generous is like the water of salvation
٤. وَلَم يَعتَرِف أَنَّ ماءَ الحَياءِ
عِندَ الكِرامِ كَماءِ النَجاةِ
