1. Wealth raises some men though they be vile,
And poverty brings others low though they be noble.

2. I have seen a man whom when I saw him,
He left his inheritance for people and took the frivolous.

3. They were not praised for what they left behind,
And they gained by it only what they committed of sins.

4. Umar, the most right of all people
To visit the leader of the nation, the Wise,

5. The giver of thousands and the fearer of his might,
The decisive in authority when nations betrayed,

6. The leader of horses towards the march adorned,
Dishevelled, with froth dripping from their bridles.
