يقول وقد أثرى الفتى بعد كدية

وحقك ما حصلت ذا من حبا الحبا

He said, after afflicting the young man with toil,

By your right, I did not gain this from gifts

ولكن رأيت المال للنفس حضرةً

فأصبحت أجني زهره من ربا الربا

But I saw wealth as a shield for the soul

So I began to reap its flower from the harvest of harvests
