1. If a man's only concerns are his stomach and his private parts
And he does not strive for lofty matters and virtues
١. اذا المرء كان البطن والفرج همه
ولم يسع في نيل العلى والمكارم
2. Then do not be his companion, no, do not even wish him well
For he is nothing but a beast walking on two legs
٢. فلا تصحبنه بل ولا تخش فقده
فما هو الا من عداد البهائم
