1. People are but the sum of their deeds
Cease with idle words and loose tongues
١. وما الناسُ إلاَّ فِعَالُهُمُ
فَدَعْ ما تُزَخْرِفُهُ الأَلْسُنُ
2. A man's true nature lies in his actions
For his inner self is revealed by what he does
٢. سَجِيَّةُ أَصْلِ الفَتَى فِعْلُهُ
بما عِنْدَهُ يَقْذِفُ المَعْدِنُ
