وَالمالُ يَحويهِ جَدوى مَن يَجودُ بِهِ

إِنَّ المَكارِمَ لِلمُجدينَ أَموالُ

Wealth contains benefit for one who is generous with it

Indeed, virtues belong to those who spend their money

وَالقَولُ إِن يَبقَ يُحسَبُ لِلفَتى أَثَراً

فَلا تَشينَنكَ بَعدَ المَوتِ أَقوالُ

And words, if they remain, are counted as traces for a young man

So do not dishonor yourself after death with words

حالٌ وَحَولٌ عَلى أَن يَذهَبا خُلِقا

فَما تَدومُ عَلى الأَحوالِ أَحوالُ

States and circumstances will inevitably pass away

For conditions do not endure upon conditions

وَالمَجدُ كَالرُزقِ هَذا نالَ مِنهُ غِنىً

وَذاكَ مِنهُ مافاتَ إِعوالُ

And glory is like sustenance - this one attained riches from it

While that passed by the one of meager means

لا يَجمَعُ الفَضلَ بَل يُعطى العُلا رَجَبٌ

لِلحَربِ يُجبى وَيُعطى الفِطرَ شَوّالُ

Excellence is not accumulated, but high position is given in Rajab to war

And given in Shawwal to the holiday
