إِذا رَأَيتَ اِمرِءاً في حالِ عُسرَتِهِ

مُصافِياً لَكَ ما في وِدِّهِ دَخلُ

When you see a man in his time of need

Expressing to you all the friendship in his heart

فَلا تُرَجِّ لَهُ إِذ يَستَفيدُ غِنىً

فَإِنَّهُ بِاِنتِقالِ الحالِ يَنتَقِلُ

Do not spurn him, now that he seeks advantage

For with the changing times his loyalty may shift
