بَشَرٌ كَما تُنبي وَلَكِن ما أَرى

بَشَرٌ كَما تُنبي وَلَكِن ما أَرى

بَشَراً سِواهُ يُريدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلا

بَشَراً سِواهُ يُريدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلا

He is human, as you say, yet I see

no human besides him who wishes to be generous.

هَل تَعرِفونَ مِنَ المَنازِلِ بَينَكُم

هَل تَعرِفونَ مِنَ المَنازِلِ بَينَكُم

في غَيرِ مَنزِلِهِ لِخَلقٍ مَنزِلا

في غَيرِ مَنزِلِهِ لِخَلقٍ مَنزِلا

Among the dwellings in your midst, do you know

any lodging for anyone except in his home?

فَكَأَنَّ مَنزِلَهُ العُفاةُ وَكُلُّهُم

فَكَأَنَّ مَنزِلَهُ العُفاةُ وَكُلُّهُم

ضَيفٌ لَهُ فَكُفيتُمُ أَن يَرحَلا

ضَيفٌ لَهُ فَكُفيتُمُ أَن يَرحَلا

So it is as though the seekers of bounty were his home, and all of them

are his guests; thus you have been spared his departure.
