1. Listen to your companion's words, do not
Be hasty to speak before you understand.
١. إِسمَع مُخاطَبَةَ الجَليسِ وَلا تَكُن
عَجِلاً بِنُطقِكَ قَبلَما تَتَفَهَّمُ
2. You were not given one tongue with two ears
Except to hear twice as much as you talk.
٢. لَم تُعطَ مَعَ أُذُنَيكَ نُطقاً واحِداً
إِلّا لِتَسمَعَ ضِعفَ ما تَتَكَلَّمُ
