1. إذا يا ابن عاشُور تُحرّمُ خلّتي

    فإنّي غنيٌّ عنك أعظمُ مأجُور

    If, O son of Ashur, you refuse to relieve my need,

    then I have no need of you, and am most richly rewarded.

  2. وصدقتُ فيك الظّنّ منّي وإنّما

    يُصدُّق جُلُّ الأغنياء بعاشُور

    And I was right in my opinion of you; for only

    on Ashura do most of the wealthy give alms.
