يا وزير المال اجمع المال واصرف
في نواحي الإصلاح مما جمعتا
O minister of finance, gather the money and spend
It on areas of reform from what you have collected
إن للشعب ما أخذت من الشع
ب فأرجع مضاعفاً ما أخذتا
For the people have what you took from the people
So give back multiplied what you have taken
أعَنِ الزارعين خففت دَيْناً
فادحاً أم قضيته ودفعتا
Help the farmers, ease a crushing debt
Or repay it and dispense it
وحسمت الداء العضال بما اختر
ت من الأمر والتدابير شتى
And resolve the tenacious affliction with what you chose
Of the matter and diverse measures
واسترد الأرض المسخر فيها
مستقلاً بها غراساً ونبتا
And regain the land enslaved in it
Independently growing plants and vegetation in it
اصنع الخير واطلب العون من أه
ليه واترك سواه ممَّا سمعتا
Do good and seek help from its people
And leave anyone else from what you heard
فحسيباً عليك ما برح القو
م ونعم الحسيب للقوم أنتا
So sufficient for you is that the people have not moved
And most sufficient for the people are you
