لا تَخزُنوا المالَ لِقَصدِ الغِنى

لا تَخزُنوا المالَ لِقَصدِ الغِنى

وَتَطلُبوا اليُسرى بِعُسراكُم

وَتَطلُبوا اليُسرى بِعُسراكُم

Do not hoard money in pursuit of wealth,

Do not hoard wealth with the aim of becoming rich

nor seek ease through your own hardship.

And seek luxury through your poverty

فَذاكَ فَقرٌ لَكُمُ عاجِلٌ

فَذاكَ فَقرٌ لَكُمُ عاجِلٌ

أَعاذَنا اللَهُ وَإِيّاكُمُ

أَعاذَنا اللَهُ وَإِيّاكُمُ

For that is immediate poverty for you—

For that is immediate poverty for you

may God protect us and you.

May God protect us and you

ما قالَ ذو العَرشِ لَنا إِخزُنوا

ما قالَ ذو العَرشِ لَنا إِخزُنوا

بَل أَنفِقوا مِمّا رَزَقناكُمُ

بَل أَنفِقوا مِمّا رَزَقناكُمُ

The Lord of the Throne did not tell us, 'Hoard,'

The Owner of the Throne did not tell us: "Hoard"

but, 'Spend from what We have provided you.'

But rather: "Spend from what We have provided you"
