1. فلا  الجود يُفني المال قبل فنائه

    ولا البخل في مال الشحيح يزيدُ

    So generosity does not exhaust wealth before its end,

    Nor does miserliness increase the miser's wealth.

  2. فلا  تلتمس  رزقا  بعيش  مقتر

    لكل   غد   رزق   يعود   جديدُ

    So do not seek sustenance by living sparingly;

    Each tomorrow has sustenance that returns anew.

  3. ألم  تر  أن  الرزق  غاد ورائح

    وأن  الذي  أعطاك  سوف يعيدُ

    Have you not seen that sustenance goes forth in the morning and returns in the evening,

    And that the one who gave you will give again?
