لَمَستُ بِكَفّي كَفَّهُ أَبتَغي الغِنا

وَلَم أَدرِ أَنَ الجودَ مِن كَفِّهِ يُعدي

I touched his palm with my hands, seeking riches

Yet I did not know generosity from his palm was contagious

فَلا أَنا مِنهُ ما أَفادَ ذَوو الغِنا

أَفَدتُ وَأَعداني فَأَفنَيتُ ما عِندي

So neither did I gain what enriched others

I gave away and was left impoverished, losing all I had
