1. The ungrateful betrayed a favor undeserving;
Ingratitude and meanness were not his fathers' way.
١. لقد خان لؤما نعمة لم يكن بها
لآبائه النذل الجحود رجاء
2. I wonder at one who betrays himself,
As the bat dims the lamp's bright ray.
٢. عجبت له من خائن خان نفسه
وقد بطمس الخفاش صاح ضياء
3. Loyalty we expect from one nurtured in baseness,
Not from one who emulates women in his way.
٣. نؤمل ممن شب بالخسة الوفا
وليس لمن حاكى النساء وفاء
