قَدِمْت على الجَوَادِ بِفَقْرِ عَبْدٍ

يرَى أنْ لاَ اَفْتِقَارَ مَعَ الجَوَادِ

I came to the generous with the poverty of a servant

Who sees that with the generous there is no need for provisions

وَلَمْ أجْنَحْ لِزَادٍ فِي طَرِيقِي

وَمَنْ يَقْصْدُه لم يَجْنَحْ لِزَادِ

And I did not prepare supplies for my journey

For he who seeks the generous did not prepare supplies
