1. I saw virtue in obligation and loan
Made difficult by spendthrift fathers

2. No lion guardian of a weak hand hoped for
His voluntary extras nor a graceful patron

3. Lost is the value from lack of effort
And dead is repute from excess of indolence

4. Accursed is the curtain, it did not purify
The venial sins from the mortal

5. We broke our vow when we tested
A despicable nature, mean and stingy

6. And much did not ask for, and uncomplicated did not
Seek from you the little from the little

7. Abu al-Abbas, moral for effort
By the right of persistence and long trading

8. He alone monopolized the generous deeds
They see generosity from weakness of minds

9. And one like Abu Umarah in his bounty
And brilliant is his superior merit a clearer proof

10. And doubts besiege you unless
The branches inform you about the roots
