خَيرُ سَبيلِ المالِ تَفريقُهُ
في طاعَةِ اللَهِ وَتَمزيقُهُ
The best way to spend money is to give it
In obedience to Allah, tearing it apart
وَالدَهرُ لايَبقى عَلى أَهلِهِ
تَغريبُهُ طَوراً وَتَشريقُهُ
And time does not stay with its people
Exiling it for a while, then making it rise at dawn
وَقَد أَرى العَقلَ إِذا ما صَفا
قَلَّت مِنَ الدُنيا مَعاليقُهُ
And I see that when reason is pure
Cares for the world are few
ما كُلُّ مَن بَرَّقَ تَأديبُهُ
يَغُرُّني ما عِشتُ تَبريقُهُ
Not everyone whose education shines
Impresses me whatever its polish
مَن حَقَّقَ الإيمانَ في قَلبِهِ
أَوشَكَ أَن يَظهَرَ تَحقيقُهُ
Whoever makes faith real in their heart
Will soon manifest its truth
