اِيّاكَ وَالحِرص اِنَّ الحِرصَ مهلكةٌ

وَاِقنَع بِما هُوَ مَرزوقٌ وَمَقسومُ

Beware of greed, for greed destroys

Be content with what is destined and allotted

ما زادَ حِرصُ اِمرىءٍ في رزقِهِ وَكَفى

اِنَّ الحَريصَ عَلى الحالَينِ مَذموم

A man's greed does not increase his sustenance at all

Indeed, one greedy in either state is blameworthy
