1. Three things make a man honored and sublime-
When blessed with riches, knowledge and piety in time.
١. ثلاثٌ يصيرُ الحرّ فيها مشرفاً
ويكرمُ في الأخرى بهنَّ وفي الدهرِ
2. With wealth he does all he wills, dire needs decline-
With knowledge he rises, faith shows him reason and rhyme.
٢. فدينٌ وعلمٌ ثم مال يحوزه
وتنفعُه في حلّه طيب الأجرِ
