فَلَو كانَ ما يُعطي رِياءً لَأَمسَكَت

فَلَو كانَ ما يُعطي رِياءً لَأَمسَكَت

بِهِ جَنَباتُ اللَومِ يَجذِبنَهُ جَذبا

بِهِ جَنَباتُ اللَومِ يَجذِبنَهُ جَذبا

Had what he gives been for show, he would surely have been seized

If what is given were for ostentation,

By the flanks of reproach, pulling him forcefully.

The sides of blame would grasp it, pulling it closer.

وَلَكِنَّما يَبغي بِهِ اللَهَ وَحدَهُ

وَلَكِنَّما يَبغي بِهِ اللَهَ وَحدَهُ

فَأَعطِ فَقَد أَربَحتَ في البَيعَةِ الكَسبا

فَأَعطِ فَقَد أَربَحتَ في البَيعَةِ الكَسبا

But through it he seeks God alone.

But whatever is desired for God alone,

So give, for you have indeed made a profit in the bargain.

Then give - for you have profited in the transaction.
