وَمِن حَسرَةِ الدُنيا هَواكَ لِباخِلٍ

وَمِن حَسرَةِ الدُنيا هَواكَ لِباخِلٍ

بَعيدٍ مِنَ العُتبي ضَنينٍ بِمَوعِدِ

بَعيدٍ مِنَ العُتبي ضَنينٍ بِمَوعِدِ

And among this world's sorrows is your love for a miser,

And from the sorrow of this life, your love is for a stingy one

far from making amends, grudging a promise.

Far from reproach, mean with promise

يَجيءُ مَجيءَ الفَيءِ كُلَّ عَشيَّةٍ

يَجيءُ مَجيءَ الفَيءِ كُلَّ عَشيَّةٍ

وَيَرجِعُ لا يُعطي بِقَولٍ وَلا يَدِ

وَيَرجِعُ لا يُعطي بِقَولٍ وَلا يَدِ

He comes like the afternoon shade every evening,

He comes every night like plunder

and returns, giving nothing by word or hand.

And returns giving neither word nor hand
