1. أَصبَحَ لا يَخشى مِنَ الذَمِّ

    لَمّا اِكتَفى بِالنائِلِ الشَهمِ

    He now fears no reproach,

    having found enough in the noble giver—

  2. خِلٌّ إِذا اِستَنجَدَ خِلٌّ بِهِ

    يَوماً مِنَ الدَهرِ عَلى العُدمِ

    a friend who, if a friend seeks his aid

    one day in life against destitution,

  3. غَزاهُ مِن تِلكَ العَطايا الَّتي

    يَحشُدُها في الطَمِّ وَالرَمِّ

    assails him with some of those gifts

    he heaps up amid the riches of sea and earth.
