إِذا ما جادَ بِالأَموالِ ثَنّى

وَلَم تُدرِكهُ في الجُودِ النَدامَه

When he is generous with wealth, he repeats

And regret for liberality does not reach him

وَإِن هَجَسَت خَواطِرُهُ بِجَمعٍ

لِرَيبِ حَوادِثٍ قالَ النَدى مَه

And if thoughts of hoarding cross his mind

For fear of misfortunes, resolve says no
