ولائمة أضحت تلوم على البذل

تعنّفني واللوم يشجي أخا العذل

A feast has become one who blames generosity

It reproaches me and blame that hurts the forbearing companion

تقول لقد أبقيت مالا أفضته

على معشر لم يوصلوك إلى وصل

It says, "You have kept wealth without spending it

Upon a group who did not join you in companionship

فلو كنت قد أبقيت منه صبابة

فصانتك في خصب وأغنتك في محل

If you had kept some of it in reserve

It would have made you wealthy in fertile land and rich in station

لقد تركتك النائبات أخا وجى

تجوب بلاد الله حزنا إلى سهل

Solitude has left you bereaved, my brother

Wandering the lands of God sadly to the plains"

فقلت لها كفّي الملام فما أرى

فتى نال أسباب المكارم بالبخل

So I said to it, "Stop your blame, for I do not see

A youth who attained the means of nobility through miserliness

بنيت المعالي بالسماح ومن يجد

على الناس بالأرزاق يعرف بالفضل

I built greatness through generosity, and he who finds

Sustenance for people is known for his excellence

على أن في المعروف تسدى معارف

بها يعرف الناس المقلين للبذل

Moreover, through good deeds friendships are forged

By which people recognize those who give little in generosity

كما أن في حبّ النبي وأله

عبارة ما بين الجلال إلى النقل

Just as in loving the Prophet and his family

There is an expression from majesty to transfer
