1. التَّبُّ من صفةِ اليدين لأنها

    جادتْ على الكفار بالإنفاقِ

    Ruin is an attribute of the two hands, for they

    gave generously to the unbelievers through spending.

  2. وكلاهما عينُ الهلاك ونفسه

    فالهلك في الأملاكِ والإرفاقِ

    And both are the very essence of destruction, destruction itself;

    thus destruction lies in possessions and in giving aid.

  3. نفقتْ يميني وهو عين هلاكها

    أين الهلاكُ من اسمه الخلاَّقِ

    My right hand perished, and that is its very destruction.

    How far destruction is from His name, the Ever-Creating!

  4. لولا وجودُ القبضِ ما انبسطتْ لنا

    كفُّ الكريمِ بسِيبهِ الغَيداقِ

    Were there no withholding, there would not be outstretched to us

    the palm of the Generous One, with His copious bounty.
