إِذا رَأَيتَ امرءاً في حالِ عُسرَتِهِ

مُصافِياً لَكَ ما في ودِّه خَلَلُ

When you see a man in his time of need

Pure towards you, with no ill in his affection

فَلا تَمنَّ لَهُ أَن يَستَفيدَ غِنىً

فَاِنَّهُ بِاِنتِقالِ الحالِ يَنتَقِلُ

Do not wish for him to gain wealth

For with the changing of fortune he too will change
