1. دَعِ الحِرصَ في الرِزقِ مِهما صَعُب

    وَلا تُكثِرَنَّ لَهُ في الطَلَب

    Give up greed for livelihood, however hard it is to obtain.

    And do not go to excess in seeking it.

  2. وَثِق بِالإِلَهِ وَلا تَيأَسَن

    فَيَتبَعُكَ الحِرصُ كُلَّ التَعَب

    And trust in God, and never despair.

    For greed brings you every kind of toil.

  3. فَرُبِّتَ رِزقٍ يَجيءُ الفَتى

    بِرِجلَيهِ مِن حَيثُ لا يَحتَسِب

    For many a livelihood comes to a young man

    On its own two feet, from where he does not expect it.
