1. I said, as he kept repeating his request, “Enough!
Are you more entitled to my dirham than my family?
١. قُلتُ إِذ كَرَّرَ المَقالَةَ يَكفي
أَنتَ أَولى بِدِرهَمي أَم عِيالي
2. I'm not one who can be deceived by the like.
So know, from these words,
٢. لَستُ مِمَّن يَكونُ يَخدَعُهُ مِث
لُكَ فَاِعلَم بِهَذِهِ الأَقوالِ
3. That I won't pay alms except as juice is squeezed
From a dried grape skin tied with ropes.”
٣. ما أُؤَدّي الزَكاةَ إِلّا كَما يُعصَرُ زِق
قٌ مُعَسَّلٌ بِالحِبالِ
