1. أَسخَنُ عينٍ قلَّبَت طرفَها

    عَينُ مَريضٍ أبصَرَت وارِثا

    The eye most heated by sorrow ever to turn its gaze

    is a sick man's eye that has seen an heir.

  2. احمل على فَضلِ الغنى راضياً

    أو كارهاً لا تدَّخر كارِثا

    Assail your surplus wealth, willingly

    or unwillingly; do not hoard a source of grief.

  3. واحرُث لأُخراك فَكُلُّ امرِئٍ

    يَلقى الَّذي كانَ لَهُ حارِثا

    And cultivate for your hereafter, for every person

    meets what he once cultivated.
