1. O keen to check on your wealth
Be keen to check on your state
١. يَا حَرِيصًا عَلَى تَفَقُّدِ مَالِكْ
كُنْ حَرِيصًا عَلَى تَفَقُّدِ حَالِكْ
2. In you is stinginess with wealth, not with sins
If only it were in your hands some of your wealth
٢. فِيكَ بُخْلٌ بِالمَالِ لَا بِالمَعَاصِي
لَيْتَهَا فِي يَدَيْكَ مِنْ بَعْضِ مَالِكْ
3. It is not odd, while you starve yourself
Stingily with what you own
٣. لَيْسَ بِدْعًا وَأَنْتَ تَقْضِي عَلَى نَفْـ
ـسِكَ جُوعًا ضَنًّا بِمَا أَنْتَ مَالِكْ
4. That you see the dying of hunger, yet not give
To one in need, nor feel pity for one in peril
٤. أَنْ تَرَى الهَالِكِينَ جُوعًا وَلَا تَرْ
ثِي لِطَاوٍ وَلَا تَرِقُّ لِهَالِكْ
5. What you hoarded will not redeem you
For today or tomorrow, you go to the grave
٥. لَيْسَ يَفْدِيكَ مَا جَمَعْتَ فَأَنْتَ الـ
ـيَوْمَ أَوْ فِي غَدٍ إِلَى القَبْرِ سَالِكْ
6. You are nothing in this life, and it may
Benefit the heirs after your demise
٦. أَنْتَ لَا شَيْءَ فِي الحَيَاةِ وَقَدْ يَنْـ
ـفَعُهَا الوَارِثُونَ بَعْدَ زَوَالِكْ
