1. وما في الناسِ أجودُ من شجاعٍ

    وإنْ أعطى القليلَ من النوالِ

    None are more generous than the valiant,

    Though he may give but little of his wealth,

  2. وذلك أنّه يُعطيك مِما

    تُفيء عليهِ أطرافُ العوالي

    For he gives you of that which he retrieves

    From the lofty peaks where the winds blow free.

  3. وحسبُك جودُ مَنْ أعطاكَ مالاً

    جباهُ بالطّرادِ وبالنّزال

    Sufficient is the generosity of one

    Who gives you riches gained through spear and sword,

  4. شرى دمَهُ ليحويَهُ فلمّا

    حواهُ حوى به حمدَ الرجال

    Who bought his blood to contain it, but when

    Contained, was praised by all men for his gift.
