«وَلَا تَرْجُ الْوُدَّ مِمَّنْ يَرَى / أَنَّكَ مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى فَلْسِهِ»
Do not expect loyal affection from someone who thinks you depend on even a small coin of his.
Fals is a small coin or trifling sum. Mentioning such a modest amount, rather than a treasure, is pointed: a person may become arrogant over even minor financial advantage.
The objection is not to poverty or needing help. It is to someone who uses assistance as a source of superiority and control. The poem ends with the importance of dignity in relationships.
