O light, beware of harming your neighbor

جارك يا مضاء فإن جاري

1. O light, beware of harming your neighbor
His honor is sacrosanct, until proven false

١. جارَكَ يا مَضاءَ فَإِنَّ جاري
حَرامٌ عِرضُهُ حَتّى يَبينا

2. And do not point your left hand towards enemies
For the left may reach out to the right in friendship

٢. وَلا توهي شِمالَكَ لِلأَعادي
فَقَد تَصِلُ الشِمالُ لَكَ اليَمينا

3. Do not chase away your dogs, care for them
So they may feed the dogs of distant tribes

٣. وَلا تَزجُر كِلابَكَ وَاِصطَنِعها
لِتُطعِمَها كِلابَ الأَبعَدينا

4. For clothes are worn despite causing harm
And if discarded, they may clothe others in need

٤. فَإِنَّ الثَوبَ يُلبَسُ وَهوَ يُؤذي
وَلَو يُلقى لَصادَفَ لابِسينا
