I chided one hoarding wealth, perhaps

ومبخل بالمال قلت لعله

1. I chided one hoarding wealth, perhaps
He would regret it—but my hopes in him were false.

١. وَمُبخّلٍ بِالمالِ قُلتُ لَعَلَّهُ
يَنْدَى وَظَنّي فيهِ ظَنٌ مُخْلِفُ

2. Amassing dirhams is no surety of safety;
He answered me: But it cannot be spent.

٢. جَمْعُ الدَّراهِمِ لَيسَ جَمْعَ سَلامَةٍ
فأَجَابني لكنَّهُ لا يُصْرَفُ
