1. إذا كانَ لي مالٌ علامَ أصونُهُ

    وما سادَ في الدنيا من البُخلُ دينه

    If I have wealth, why should I guard it?

    And no one whose creed is miserliness has risen to eminence in the world.

  2. ومن كانَ يوماً ذا يسارٍ فإنَّهُ

    خليقٌ لعمري أن تجودَ يَمينُهُ

    And whoever one day has wealth, he surely

    Should, by my life, let his right hand give generously.
