1. ولا تسأل المالَ عن آمرئٍ

    أصابَ اليسارة من كدِهِ

    And do not question wealth about a man

    who attained prosperity through his own toil;

  2. ولكن سلِ المالَ عند امرئٍ

    إذا أورث المالَ عن جدهِ

    but question wealth when it rests with a man,

    if it came down to him from his grandfather.
