وقالوا تَولَّى حينَ قابَلَه الغِنَى

وأصبحَ تُبدِيه اللَّيالي فَيَختَفي

They said he turned away when wealth met him,

And the nights began to make him disappear.

فقُلتُ حِمامي المالُ عِلمي بأنَّني

أخلِّفُ مالي أو فَمالي لمُخلِفِ

So I said, “My wealth, be assured that if I

Leave wealth or mouth behind, it's for a successor."
