1. I was not created except to give freely of my palms
While their tongues were made only for idle prattle
١. وَما خُلِقَت إِلّا لِبَذلٍ أَكُفُّهُم
وَأَلسُنُهُم إِلّا لِتَحبيرِ مَنطِقِ
2. Thus one day they race the winds in generosity
While another they vie in pretentious eloquence
٢. فَيَوماً يُبارونَ الرِياحَ سَماحَةً
وَيَوماً لِبَذلِ الخاطِبِ المُتَشَدِّقِ
