1. Do not expect lasting kindness from anyone
Evil is innate, while good is accidental
١. لا تَرجُوَنَّ دَوامَ الخَيرِ مِن أَحَدٍ
فَالشَرُّ طَبعٌ وَفيهِ الخَيرُ بِالعَرَضِ
2. And do not think a man has given you his friendship
For your own sake, rather he gave it for a purpose
٢. وَلا تَظُنَّ امرأً أَسدى إِلَيكَ نَدىً
مِن أَجلِ ذاتِكَ بَل أَسداهُ لِلغرَضِ
