They imagine I have wealth, and so they envy me,

يعدون لي مالا فهم يحسدونني

1. They imagine I have wealth, and so they envy me,
Yet he with riches can be tempted by each destitute one.

١. يَعُدّونَ لي مالاً فَهُم يَحسُدونَني
وَذو المالِ قَد يُغرى بِهِ كُلُّ مُعدَمِ

2. If they but knew my wealth was my wit and my offspring,
Along with what I owe and must pay, it would not be half a dirham!

٢. وَلَو حَسِبوا مالي طَريفي وَتالدي
وَقَرضي وَفَرضي لَم يَكُن نِصف دِرهَمِ
