كَفى حَزَناً أَنَّ الجَوادَ مُقَتَّرٌ

كَفى حَزَناً أَنَّ الجَوادَ مُقَتَّرٌ

عَلَيهِ وَلا مَعروفَ عِندَ بَخيلِ

عَلَيهِ وَلا مَعروفَ عِندَ بَخيلِ

It is sorrow enough that the generous man is straitened

Enough sorrow that the generous man is needy,

in his means, while no kindness is found with a miser.

With no kindness from a miser to aid him.
