1. People are equal in their acts of depravity
So they find nothing beautiful but what is ugly
١. تَساوى الناسُ في فِعلِ المساوي
فَما يَستَحسِنونَ سِوى القَبيحِ
2. Generosity has become madness to them
So they find nothing sane but stinginess
٢. وَصارَ الجودُ عِندَهُمُ جُنوناً
فَما يَستَعقِلونَ سِوى الشَحيحِ
3. They used to flee from calamities
Now they flee from praise
٣. وَكانوا يَهرُبونَ مِنَ الأَهاجي
فَصاروا يَهرُبونَ مِنَ المَديحِ
