لا يُعجِبَنَّك مِن يَصونُ ثِيابَه

لا يُعجِبَنَّك مِن يَصونُ ثِيابَه

حذر الغُبارِ وَعرضه مَبذول

حذر الغُبارِ وَعرضه مَبذول

Do not admire one who guards his clothes

For fear of dust, while his honor is debased.

وَلَرُبَّما اِفتَقَر الفَتى فَرَأَيتَه

وَلَرُبَّما اِفتَقَر الفَتى فَرَأَيتَه

دنس الثِياب وَعرضه مَغسول

دنس الثِياب وَعرضه مَغسول

And often a young man falls into poverty, and you see him

With soiled clothes, yet his honor washed clean.
