يَا جَامِعَ المَالِ وَهْوَ يَمْنَعُهُ

عَنْ راغبٍ في نَوَالِهِ طَامِعْ

O hoarder of wealth, denying it

From one desiring access, ever hopeful,

أَصْبَحْتَ في البُخْلِ إذْ عُرِفْتَ بِهِ

كَأَنَّكَ الحَدُّ جامِعٌ مَانِعْ

You have come to be known for stinginess,

As if you were death itself, seizing all.
