لا خَيرَ في المُجتَدى في الحَينِ تَسأَلُهُ

فَاِستَمطِروا مِن قُرَيشٍ خَيرُ مُختَدَعِ

There is no good in the miser when you ask of him,

So seek rain from Quraish, the best of those who hoard.

تَخالُ فيهِ إِذا حاوَرتَهُ بَلَهاً

مِن جودِهِ وَهوَ وافي العَقلِ وَالوَرَعِ

He seems generous when you converse with him amiably,

Due to his generosity, intelligence and piety.
