أثَروْا فما علِم امرؤٌ إثراَءهم

فلو املَقوا لم يعلم الإِملاقُ

Their riches left no trace that one could know,

Had they withheld, withholding too would go unnoticed.

سِيَّانِ إثراءُ اللئيم وعُدمُه

إن الدراهمَ عَرفُها الإنفاقُ

A scoundrel's wealth and lack of wealth are one -

The worth of cash is known by how it's spent.
