لا تَجِد بِالعَطاءِ في غَير حَقٍّ

لا تَجِد بِالعَطاءِ في غَير حَقٍّ

لَيسَ في مَنع غَيرِ ذي الحَقِّ بخل

لَيسَ في مَنع غَيرِ ذي الحَقِّ بخل

Do not bestow gifts where they are not rightfully due.

You will not find reward in giving unjustly,

Withholding from one with no rightful claim is not stinginess.

There is no virtue in withholding from the deserving.

اِنَّما الجودُ اِن تَجودُ عَلى مَن

اِنَّما الجودُ اِن تَجودُ عَلى مَن

هُوَ لِلجودِ مِنكَ وَالبَذلُ اِهل

هُوَ لِلجودِ مِنكَ وَالبَذلُ اِهل

It is generosity only if you give generously to one

True generosity is to give freely to those

Who is worthy of your generosity and giving.

Who deserve your gift and merit favor.

إِن يَكُن ما بِهِ أَصَبتَ جَليلا

إِن يَكُن ما بِهِ أَصَبتَ جَليلا

فَذهاب العَزاءِ مِنهُ اِجل

فَذهاب العَزاءِ مِنهُ اِجل

If what has afflicted you is grave,

If what you give is of value to the recipient,

Then the loss of fortitude is graver than that.

Then the loss of it should not grieve you.

كُل آت لا شَكَّ آت وَذو الجَهل

كُل آت لا شَكَّ آت وَذو الجَهل

معنى وَالغَم وَالحُزن فَضل

معنى وَالغَم وَالحُزن فَضل

All that is to come will surely come; the ignorant one

All that comes will go, without doubt, and the ignorant

Is tormented, and worry and sorrow are needless.

Will know nothing but grief, anxiety and woe.
