فَبِئسَ الَّذي يُعطي بِمَنٍّ وَبِالأَذى

فَيبطلُ ما أَعطى وَيَفسُد ما أسدَى

Wretched is he who gives with reproach and harm,

Thus nullifying what he gave, corrupting what he bestowed.

تَصَدَّقْ وَلا تَمنن ولا تُؤذِ في العطا

وَإِنْ فاتَ مِنكَ المالُ تَكتسب الحَمدا

Give alms without reproaching, give without causing hurt,

If you lack wealth, you will earn praise.
