يرى ضيفُ عبد الواحد الخيرَ كلَّه

وتُبْصِرُ عيناه جَميعَ الَّذي يهوى

Abdul Wahid's guest sees all good

And his eyes behold whatever he desires

كريمٌ متى تأوِ إلى ضوء ناره

أرتك إذن نيرانه جنة المأوى

Generous whenever sought in his fire's light

So leave then his fires, paradise of shelter

فأكرمْ به مثوى ولو شاءَ ضيفه

لأنزل في إكرامه المن والسلوى

Show him generous lodging even if his guest wished

He could have brought down manna and quails in his generosity

يكلّف ما لا تستطيع جفاتُه

ولم يرض حتَّى حُمّلت للقرى رضوى

He demands what his meanness cannot manage

And was not content until settlements gained blessings
