Whenever he gives of his wealth, he gives again,
And regret never overtakes him in his generosity.
وإنand if هَجَسَتْwhispered خواطِرُهُhis thoughts بجمعٍof amassing wealth
وإن هَجَسَتْ خواطِرُهُ بجمعٍ

لِرَيْبِ حوادثٍ قالَ النَّدى مَهُ
And if his thoughts whisper of amassing wealth
Against unforeseen misfortunes, generosity says, "Stop!"
