That's a part of a long poem by Abu al-Hasan al-Jurjani, in which he gives advice to fellow scholars not to dishonor themselves by asking for money from sultans and notables.
Jurjani was an Islamic scholar, literary critic, prominent poet, and the chief justice of the Buyid dynasty in his time. He lived during the 4th century AH.
