لا يَفقِدَن خَيرَكُم مُجالِسُكُم

لا يَفقِدَن خَيرَكُم مُجالِسُكُم

وَلا تَكونوا كَأَنَّكُم سَبَخُ

وَلا تَكونوا كَأَنَّكُم سَبَخُ

Let whoever sits with you never lack your kindness.

And do not be as though you were barren salt flats.

وَلا كَقَومٍ حَديثُ يَومِهِمُ

وَلا كَقَومٍ حَديثُ يَومِهِمُ

ما أَكَلوا أَمسَهُم وَما طَبَخوا

ما أَكَلوا أَمسَهُم وَما طَبَخوا

Nor like people whose daily talk

Is of what they ate yesterday and what they cooked.
