يا باذلَ العُرفِ لأعدائِهِ

مُذ كان فضلاً عن أوِدّائِهِ

O you who give generously to his enemies

Since it was more than to his friends

ويا أخا الجودِ وخُلْصانَهُ

لكُلِّ ما يشفيه من دائِهِ

O brother of generosity and its sincerity

For all that cures him of his pain

جاء البَنَفْسُ الرَّطبُ فامْنُنْ به

ما دام مَطلولاً بأندائِهِ

The fresh wet dates have come, so be generous with them

As long as they are desired by the necks

قد جادت الأرضُ بإنباتِهِ

فجُدْ لنا أنت بإهدائِهِ

The land was generous with its plants

So be generous with us by giving them

ولا تكن أَبخلَ من طينةٍ

تُبديه في إبّانِ إبدائِهِ

And do not be stingier than clay

That shows it during its manifestation

ما الأرضُ أولى من فتى ماجد

بفعلِ معروفٍ وإسدائِهِ

The land is no more deserving than a glorious young man

Of a good deed and giving it

والحُرُّ لا يقطعُ في حالة

عاداتِ جدواهُ وإجدائِهِ

And the free man does not cut off in a state

The habits of his generosity and efforts

ولا أياديهِ بمقْفُوّةٍ

بَيْضاؤُهُ منه بسودائِهِ

Nor are his hands clenched

Its whiteness apparent in its blackness

ولا عطاياهُ بمتْلُوَّةٍ

منها الهنيئاتُ بنَكْدائِهِ

Nor are his gifts wrapped up

From which congratulations come with their trouble

ما حَقُّ من أسلف تأميلَهُ

مثلك أن يُجزى بإكْدائِهِ

It is not right that one who has hoped for its delay before

Like you should be rewarded with its prevention
