إِذا كُنتَ في نَخلٍ جَناهُ مُيَسَّرٌ

لَكَفِّكَ فَاِهتِف بِالضَعيفِ إِلى النَخلِ

If you are in a palm tree, sheltered and comfortable

Free your palms and call out to the weak one, to the palm tree

فَإِن لَم يَعُد فَاِبعَث لَهُ سَهمَ طارِقٍ

لِتُؤجِرَ أَو تُدعى البَريءَ مِنَ البُخلِ

If he does not return, send him a piercing arrow

So you may give charity or be called innocent of stinginess

أَبى اللَهُ أَخذي دَرَّ ضَأنٍ وَماعِزٍ

وَإِدخالِيَ الأَمرَ المُضِرَّ عَلى السَخلِ

God has refused that I take the pearls of sheep and goats

Or that I introduce the harmful matter to the foolish
