وَمَنْ يَزرَعِ المَعروفَ يَجْنِ بِهِ الثّنا

وَمَنْ يَزرَعِ المَعروفَ يَجْنِ بِهِ الثّنا

ولا يَغرسُ المعروفَ إِلّا اِبنُ ماجِدِ

ولا يَغرسُ المعروفَ إِلّا اِبنُ ماجِدِ

And whoever sows kindness reaps praise through it.

Whoever sows good deeds will reap praise,

And none plants kindness but a noble man's son.

And none shall plant good deeds but the noble one.

ثَناءٌ حَميدٌ خَيرُ ما اِكتَسَبَ الفَتى

ثَناءٌ حَميدٌ خَيرُ ما اِكتَسَبَ الفَتى

وَشَأنُ كَريمِ الطّبعِ كَسْبُ المَحامِدِ

وَشَأنُ كَريمِ الطّبعِ كَسْبُ المَحامِدِ

Worthy praise is the best a young man can earn.

Praiseworthy and virtuous deeds are the best gains of a young man,

And it is the way of the noble-natured to earn acclaim.

And it is the nature of the generous to earn epithets of praise.
