1. وقالوا تَولَّى حينَ قابَلَه الغِنَى

    وأصبحَ تُبدِيه اللَّيالي فَيَختَفي

    They said he turned away when wealth met him,

    And now the nights reveal him, so he hides.

  2. فقُلتُ حِمامي المالُ عِلمي بأنَّني

    أخلِّفُ مالي أو فَمالي لمُخلِفِ

    So I said: Wealth is my doom; I know that I

    Leave my wealth behind—or else my wealth is for a successor.
