1. I have little wealth and my earnings do not benefit me
I have been afflicted by bankrupt people
١. مالي قليل وكسبي ليس ينفعني
وقد بُليتُ بأقوام مفاليسِ
2. None of them can be hoped for by their seeker
And how can one hope for bones in the graves
٢. ما منهمُ أحدٌ يُرجى لنائله
وكيف ترجى عظامٌ في النَّواويسِ
3. May Badr Tamim return in his generosity
And in folly they are the brothers of Iblis
٣. رد بدر تميم في عطيتِهم
وفي السفاهة هم اخوان ابليسِ
4. Bread with them at the time of their pride
Is dearer than An-Nawarah during the era of Bilqis
٤. الخبز عندهُمُ في وقت بيدرهم
أعزُّ من نَورَةٍ في عهد بلقيسِ
