1. You saw how persistence in work
Serves the workers better than the excellence of craft
١. رَأَيْتَ تَتَابُعَ الأَعْمَالِ أَجْدَى
عَلَى العُمَّالِ مِنْ فَضْلِ الصِّنَاعَهْ
2. So whoever spends the most of his wealth
Is the one whose intercession is most desirable
٢. فَمَنْ يَكُ أكْثَرَ العُمَّالِ بَذْلاً
لِمَالٍ فَهْوَ أَوْجَهُهُمْ شَفَاعَهْ
3. Whether you are engaged in some work, be an artisan
With tolerance, and if it gets difficult, be more patient
٣. فَإِمَّا كُنْتَ فِي عَمَلٍ فَصَانِعْ
بِمَرْفِقِهِ وَإِنْ ثَلَمَ ارْتِفَاعَهْ
4. And provide the share of followers, so you may be safe
From blame and defamation through that
٤. وَوَفِّرْ حِصَّةَ الأَتْبَاعِ تَأْمَنْ
بِذَاكَ مِنَ المَلاَمَةِ والشَّنَاعَهْ
5. Take the collecting of conciliatory money and not
The establishing of an argument for you among the group
٥. وَخُذْ فِي جَمْعِ مَالِ الصُّلْحِ لاَ فِي
إِقَامَةِ حُجَّةٍ لَكَ فِي جَمَاعَةْ
6. And forgive the one who helps you and believe him
To speak good of you one day in your defense
٦. وَسَامِحْ ذَا المَعُونَةِ واعْتَقِدْهُ
لِيُحْسِنَ عَنْكَ يَوْمَاً ما دِفَاعَهُ
7. And be honest with the judge, and do not provoke him
So he doesn't testify to betrayal and loss
٧. وَصَادِقْ ذَا القَضَاءِ وَلاَ تُثِرْهُ
فِيَشْهَدَ بِالْخِيَانَةِ والإضَاعَهْ
8. And be certain in all that
That fate makes changes after a while
٨. وَكُنْ فِي كُلِّ ذَاكَ عَلَى يَقِيْنٍ
بِأَنَّ الصَّرْفَ يَحْدُثُ بَعْدَ سَاعَهْ
