1. The generous man is content when his hands suffice him,
One of my two hands equals the hands of Nasr ibn Sayyar.

2. His hands are the best hands I've heard of among men
For good deeds and for preventing wrong.

3. He who stirs up trouble is like a dog who barks
At those who approach the fire.

4. While the gracious noble one has auspicious deeds,
And prevents harm from reaching his neighbor.

5. How much generosity and giving is in you,
Flowing forth like a turbulent sea!

6. You are the generous one whose supererogatory gifts are hoped for,
And furthest of all people from shame.

7. And closest of all people in nobility -
He gives desires without a care for poverty.
