جة ما هكذا يكون السديد
O you who take lightly refusing a request,
O you who jest in response to need
This is not how a judicious person behaves.
It is not thus the right is done

I do not know whether the one who refuses a request
I know not who in greater plight
Is worse off, or the one turned away.
