أَلا ربّ لُؤم بَينَ عِزّ وَثروَة

وَرَبّت جود بَينَ فَقر وَإِقتار

Alas, my Lord, glory and wealth are a burning fire

While generosity lies between poverty and distress

فَلا يَغُرَّنك ذو طِمرَين تَحقِره

فَربّ خِرق كَريم بَين أَطمار

So let not him of two days contemptuously despise you

For many a tattered garment veils a noble soul
