اِشتَرِ العِزَّ بِما بي

عَ فَما العِزُّ بِغالِ

Purchase honor with what ever you own

For honor is not expensive

بِالقِصارِ الصُفرِ إِن شِئ

تَ أَوِ السُمرِ الطِوالِ

With short or long spears, if you wish

Or with brown or white swords

لَيسَ بِالمَغبونِ عَقلاً

مَن شَرى عِزّاً بِمالِ

He who buys honor with money

Is not foolish in his mind

إِنَّما يُدَّخَرُ الما

لُ لِحاجاتِ الرِجالِ

Money is saved

For men's needs

وَالفَتى مَن جَعَلَ الأَم

والَ أَثمانَ المَعالي

And the young man who makes principles

The prices of glories
