رُزِقتُ عَقلاً وَلَم أُرزَق مُروءَتَهُ

وَما المُروءَةُ إِلّا كَثرَةُ المالِ

I was granted wisdom but was not granted integrity

And integrity is nothing but abundance of wealth

إِذا أَرَدتُ مُساماةً تَقاعَدَ بي

عَمّا يُنَوِّهُ بِاِسمي رِقَّةُ الحالِ

If I wanted cordiality, destitution held me back

From anything that would bring renown to my name
