Perhaps a little wealth suffices,

ربما أمتع القليل

1. Perhaps a little wealth suffices,
Or even less may yet amuse;

١. رُبَّما أَمتَعَ القَليل
مِنَ المالِ أَو كَفى

2. But when in overplus it rises,
The owner's peace it will abuse.

٢. وَإِذا زادَ كَثرَةً
وَعَدا القَدرَ أَتلَفا

3. A lamp when oil is scarce will lighten
The house, though small its flame and few;

٣. كَسِراجٍ مُنَوّرٍ
إِن طَفا دُهنُهُ اِنطَفى
