1. 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

  2. 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

  3. وَقَد أَرى العَقلَ إِذا ما صَفا

    قَلَّت مِنَ الدُنيا مَعاليقُهُ

    And I see that when reason is pure

    Cares for the world are few

  4. ما كُلُّ مَن بَرَّقَ تَأديبُهُ

    يَغُرُّني ما عِشتُ تَبريقُهُ

    Not everyone whose education shines

    Impresses me whatever its polish

  5. مَن حَقَّقَ الإيمانَ في قَلبِهِ

    أَوشَكَ أَن يَظهَرَ تَحقيقُهُ

    Whoever makes faith real in their heart

    Will soon manifest its truth
