من سرِّه طيب الحيا
ة وقرب أولاد النِعَم
Whoever delights in life’s sweetness,
and in the company of the privileged,
حتى يعزَّ بدهره
هذا ويثري من عدم
so that he may rise in honor in his lifetime—
this very lifetime—and grow rich out of poverty,
فليأخذ الحبل الطويل
ويمش قدّام الغنم
let him take up the long rope
and walk ahead of the sheep.
Sol 5.6
