وَإِنَّ الكَريمَ مَن يُكرِّمُ مُعسِراً

وَإِنَّ الكَريمَ مَن يُكرِّمُ مُعسِراً

عَلى ما اِعتَراهُ لا يُكرَمُ ذا يُسرِ

عَلى ما اِعتَراهُ لا يُكرَمُ ذا يُسرِ

And indeed, the generous man is one who honors a needy man,

The generous man honors the one in need

Despite what has befallen him; a man of means is not honored.

Despite what afflicts him, he who is wealthy is not honored

وَما غَيَّرتني ضَجرَةٌ عَن تَكَرُّمي

وَما غَيَّرتني ضَجرَةٌ عَن تَكَرُّمي

وَلا عابَ أَضيافي غِنايَ وَلا فَقري

وَلا عابَ أَضيافي غِنايَ وَلا فَقري

And no vexation has turned me away from my generosity,

No weariness has changed my generosity

And my guests have faulted neither my wealth nor my poverty.

Nor the reproach of my guests, my wealth or poverty
