أَرى قَوماً وُجوهُهُمُ حِسانٌ

إِذا كانَت حَوائِجُهُم إِلَينا

I see a people whose faces are beautiful

When their needs are towards us

وَإِن كانَت حَوائِجُنا إِلَيهِم

يُقَبِّحُ حُسنُ أَوجُهِهِم عَلَينا

And if our needs are towards them

The beauty of their faces turns ugly to us

فَإِن مَنَعَ الأَشِحَّةُ ما لَديهِم

فَإِنّا سَوفَ نَمنَحُ ما لَدَينا

So if stinginess withholds what they have

Then we will grant what we have
