I met him in time of need, possessed of meanness

وذي خسة وافيته عند حاجة

1. I met him in time of need, possessed of meanness,
Of whom I had heard the name, but not the meaning.

١. وَذي خِسَّةٍ وافَيتُهُ عِندَ حاجَةٍ
سَمِعتُ بِهِ لَفظاً وَلَم أَرَهُ مَعنى

2. A face without beauty, wealth without generosity,
Truly he missed both beauty that he claimed and bounty.

٢. فَوَجهٌ وَلا بِشرٌ وَمالٌ وَلا نَدىً
لَقَد خابَ لا حُسناً حَواهُ وَلا حُسنى
