إِذا اِفتَقَرَ المَولى سَعى لَكَ جاهِداً

إِذا اِفتَقَرَ المَولى سَعى لَكَ جاهِداً

لِتَرضى وَإِن نالَ الغِنى عَنكَ أَدبَرا

لِتَرضى وَإِن نالَ الغِنى عَنكَ أَدبَرا

When an ally falls into poverty, he strives earnestly for you,

When the master is poor, he strives for you vigorously

To please you; but if he gains wealth, he turns away from you.

So you would be pleased, but if he gained wealth without you, he turns away
