إِذا كُنتُ في قَومي فَمالي أُبيحُهم
وَأَمنَعُه عَنهم بِحينِ مَغيبي
Whenever I am among my people, I freely place my wealth at their disposal,
But withhold it from them during my absence—
فَكالشَّمسِ تَحبو النّاسَ كلَّ ضِيائِها
وَتَحجبُه عَنهم بِوقتِ الغروبِ
Like the sun, which bestows on all people the fullness of its radiance,
Then veils it from them at the hour of sunset.
Sol 5.6
