وَما خُلِقَت إِلّا لِبَذلٍ أَكُفُّهُم

وَأَلسُنُهُم إِلّا لِتَحبيرِ مَنطِقِ

I was not created except to give freely of my palms

While their tongues were made only for idle prattle

فَيَوماً يُبارونَ الرِياحَ سَماحَةً

وَيَوماً لِبَذلِ الخاطِبِ المُتَشَدِّقِ

Thus one day they race the winds in generosity

While another they vie in pretentious eloquence
