1. If you're a sparrow amidst a folk then live humbly,
He's remained as a child chasing sparrows,
١. إِن كُنتَ يَعسوبَ أَقوامٍ فَخَف قَدَراً
ما زالَ كَالطِفلِ يَصطادُ اليَعاسيبا
2. And if you're to blame for a calamity,
Then how much has time concealed heavy calamities.
٢. وَإِن تَكُن بِمِنا سيبٍ لِمَهلَكَةٍ
فَكَم طَوى الدَهرُ أَقيالاً مَناسيبا
