يا راغِباً بِغِناهُ عَن فُقَرائِنا

بِالزُهدِ فيكَ الفَقرُ قَد أَغنانا

O you who wish to enrich yourself at the expense of our poverty

With asceticism in you, poverty has enriched us

لَو ذُقتَ طَعمَ طَعامِنا وَشَرابِنا

ما عِشتَ عُمرَكَ جائِعاً ظَمآنا

Had you tasted the flavor of our food and drink

You would not have lived your life hungry and thirsty

وَلَوِ اِستَقَمتَ عَلى سِواءِ سَبيلِنا

لَم تَمشِ في تيهِ الفَلا حَيرانا

And had you walked the straight path of our way

You would not wander confused in the wilderness

وَلَدُرتَ بِالدارِ الَّتي دِرنا بِها

وَلِثَمتَ فيها الحورَ وَالوَلدِنا

And you would know the house we resided in

And enjoyed in it the maidens and our children
