Honor the weak, though horizons are barren,

أكرم ضعيفك والآفاق مجدبة

1. Honor the weak, though horizons are barren,
And do not humiliate him, even if you give him sustenance.

١. أَكرِم ضَعيفَكَ وَالآفاقُ مُجدِبَةٌ
وَلا تُهِنهُ وَلَو أَعطَيتَهُ القوتا

2. Keep away from people, to be safe from their misdeeds,
And from being despised in the company of peers.

٢. وَجانِبِ الناسَ تَأمَن سوءَ فِعلِهِمُ
وَأَن تَكونَ لَدى الجُلّاسِ مَمقوتا

3. They must slander all whom they befriended,
Even if you had given them rubies as gifts.

٣. لا بُدَّ مِن أَن يَذِمّوا كُلَّ مَن صَحَبوا
وَلَو أَراهُم حَصى المِعزاءِ ياقوتا

4. Spend your time devoutly regardless of circumstance,
Until you meet your predestined day.

٤. وَقَضِّ وَقتَكَ بِالتَقوى تَجَوَّزُهُ
حَتّى تُصادِفَ يَوماً فيهِ مَوقوتا
