لَقَد لَؤم الورى حتىّ المصلى

لَقَد لَؤم الورى حتىّ المصلى

ليَشرِطُ أَن يَفيهِ اللَه أَجرَه

ليَشرِطُ أَن يَفيهِ اللَه أَجرَه

Indeed, humanity has grown so base that even the worshipper

The people of this age have become so base

stipulates that God pay him his reward in full.

That one who prays demands reward for his faith.

وَكاد الناس لو حيَّيتَهم لا

وَكاد الناس لو حيَّيتَهم لا

يردُّون التَحيَّة دون أُجرَه

يردُّون التَحيَّة دون أُجرَه

And people, if you greeted them, would scarcely

If you were to greet them, they would scarcely reply

return the greeting without a fee.

Without demanding payment for the courtesy.
