همته بالشقاء والفكر
Fie upon the dinar’s slave, if his ambition were content
Alas, if only the servant of money would be content
with misery and anxious thought.
With misery and contemplation as his aspiration,

O worshipper of the pure dirham, awake!
O worshipper of coins, wake up!
For you are merely a worshipper of stone.
You only worship rocks.
