وَمَيَّزَ في إِنفاقِهِ بَينَ مُصلِحٍ

مُعايَشَةً يَضُرُ وَيَنفَعُ

He distinguished in his spending between what improves

Livelihood, harming and benefiting.

إِذا اِكتَسَبَ المالَ الفَتى مِن وجوهِهِ

وَأَحسَنَ تَدبيراً لَهُ حينَ يَجمَعُ

When the young man earns money from its sources

And manages it well when he collects it

وَأَرضى بِهِ أَهل الحُتوفِ وَلَم يَضَع

بِهِ الذُخرَ زاداً لِلَتي هيَ أَنفَعُ

And satisfies the people of the huts and does not waste

With it provision - that which is more beneficial -

فَذاكَ الفَتى لا جامِعُ المالِ ذاخراً

لِأَولادِ سوءٍ حَيثُ حَلّوا وَأَوضَعوا

Then that young man is not the hoarder of wealth

For wicked children wherever they settled.
