1. لِغَيرِ طَريفٍ مِن طَريفي وَتالِدي

    رَحيلُهُما مَع مُستَميحي وَقاصِدي

    It is nothing strange for my newly acquired and inherited wealth

    To depart with those who seek my bounty and come to me.

  2. لِأَيِّ فَتىً دَهري أَروحُ وَأَغتَدي

    لِتَفريقِ أَموالٍ وَجَمعِ مَحامِدي

    For which young man do I go, throughout my life, at evening and at dawn,

    To scatter wealth and gather praise for myself?

  3. إِذا رَأَتِ الدُنيا خِصالي بِعَينِها

    جَلَت نَفسَها مِن حَليِها بِالقَلائِدِ

    When the world sees my virtues with her own eyes,

    She displays herself in necklaces from her jewels.
