وَأَجمِل إِذا ما كُنتَ لا بُدَّ مانِعاً

وَأَجمِل إِذا ما كُنتَ لا بُدَّ مانِعاً

وَقَد يَمنَعُ الشَيءَ الفَتى وَهوَ مُجمِلُ

وَقَد يَمنَعُ الشَيءَ الفَتى وَهوَ مُجمِلُ

Be gracious when you cannot but refuse,

And be gracious if you have no choice but to withhold;

For a man may deny a request and still be gracious.

And a young man may withhold something while remaining gracious.
