إِنَّ اِمرَأً أَمسى وَأَصبَحَ سالِماً

إِنَّ اِمرَأً أَمسى وَأَصبَحَ سالِماً

مِنَ الناسِ إِلّا ما جَنى لِسَعيدُ

مِنَ الناسِ إِلّا ما جَنى لِسَعيدُ

Indeed, a man who reaches evening and morning safe

A man may pass the night and see the morn

From others, except for what he has brought upon himself, is truly fortunate.

Secure from men's assaults, save what's foredoomed;

وَإِنَّ اِمرَأً نالَ الغِنى ثُمَّ لَم يُنِل

وَإِنَّ اِمرَأً نالَ الغِنى ثُمَّ لَم يُنِل

قَريباً وَلا ذا خُلَّةٍ لَزَهيدُ

قَريباً وَلا ذا خُلَّةٍ لَزَهيدُ

And indeed, a man who gains wealth, then gives nothing

And he in easy plenty may be drowned,

To a kinsman or a close friend, is truly miserly.

Yet neither kith nor kin afford him calm;

وَإِنَّ اِمرَأً عادى الرِجالَ عَلى الغِنى

وَإِنَّ اِمرَأً عادى الرِجالَ عَلى الغِنى

وَلَم يَسأَلِ اللَهَ الغِنى لَحَسودُ

وَلَم يَسأَلِ اللَهَ الغِنى لَحَسودُ

And indeed, a man who treats other men as enemies over wealth

And he may war on men in prideful mood,

And does not ask God for wealth, is truly envious.

Yet not implore from Allah wealth and weal.
