أَتَراكَ تَسمَحُ بِالنَوا

لِ وَأَنتَ تَبخُلُ بِالسَلامِ

Will you let the breeze blow

While you’re stingy with your greetings?

لا توحِشُ النَفرَ الكِرا

مَ فَأَنتَ مِن نَفَرٍ كِرامِ

Don’t spurn the generous people,

You’re of a generous tribe yourself.

قَد ضَلَّ مَن لا يَشتَري

وَدَّ الأَكارِمِ بِالكَلامِ

Lost is he who doesn’t buy

The love of the noble with kind words.
