1. My people and I were separated by doctrines,
Though fundamentals unite us as destined.

2. The furthest from me in their displeasure,
The nearest in ties I've come to abhor.

3. A stranger amidst kith yet my vision lingers,
Alone, while my tribesmen throng as outcasts.

4. A kinsman is he who resembles your heart in love,
A neighbor is he who rivals your noble traits.

5. The greatest of man's enemies are his confidants,
While his slightest foe is who he comes to fight.

6. Your worst enemy is he you do not fight,
Your best friend is he you do not take side.

7. With days and people I've gained in experience,
Trials have refined me in their crucible heated.

8. No fault it is if the youth falls from weakness,
No fault it is if ambition impedes his path.

9. He who lives not by sword, has humiliation beside,
This inevitably will be his share decided.

10. An abode is not endeared minus its charms,
A neighborhood is not near if it is deprived.
