1. ما جادَ يوماً أن يُقال هو الجوا

    دُ ولا توقَّف خشيةَ الإِملاقِ

    He never gave merely to be called the generous one,

    nor held back for fear of poverty.

  2. لكنَّه يُعطي وَيَمنع عالماً

    بمواقع الإِمساكِ والإِطلاقِ

    Rather, he gives and withholds, knowing

    the proper occasions for withholding and giving freely.
