1. When you see a man in his time of need
Expressing to you all the friendship in his heart
١. إِذا رَأَيتَ اِمرِءاً في حالِ عُسرَتِهِ
مُصافِياً لَكَ ما في وِدِّهِ دَخلُ
2. Do not spurn him, now that he seeks advantage
For with the changing times his loyalty may shift
٢. فَلا تُرَجِّ لَهُ إِذ يَستَفيدُ غِنىً
فَإِنَّهُ بِاِنتِقالِ الحالِ يَنتَقِلُ
