من سرِّه طيب الحيا

ة وقرب أولاد النِعَم

He whose secret is a good life

And children who bring him joy

حتى يعزَّ بدهره

هذا ويثري من عدم

Until he takes pride in his days

And makes wealth out of nothing

فليأخذ الحبل الطويل

ويمش قدّام الغنم

Let him take the long rope

And walk ahead of the sheep
