1. My brother, do not say lies when you speak
For people have virtue in truthfulness, clear
١. أخي لا تَقُلْ كَذِباً إنْ نَطَقْتَ
فللنّاسِ في الصِّدْقِ فَضْلٌ وَضَحْ
2. And beware if you lie, quickly it appears
For false dawn never comes but is laid bare
٢. وخَفْ إنْ كَذَبْتَ طُرُوَّ افتِضاحِ
فَما كَذَبَ الفَجْرُ إلا افْتَضَحْ
