1. Scheming is his business, deception his resort
His plots swim in the darkness of the night
١. وذي حِيَلٍ يُعْيِ التّقيّةَ أمْرُهُ
مَكايِدُهُ في لُجّةِ اللّيْلِ تَسْبَحُ
2. He prowls like a lion, while the lion keeps watch
And steals the dog's fangs, while the dog barks loud
٢. يُدبُّ شُبولَ اللّيثِ والليْثُ ساهِرٌ
ويَسْرِقُ نابَ الكَلْبِ والكلْبُ يَنْبَحُ
