1. وَمِنَ البَلاءِ وَلِلبَلاءِ عَلامَةٌ

    أَن لا يُرى لَكَ عَن هَواكَ نُزوعُ

    And among afflictions—and affliction has a sign—

    is that you show no turning away from your desire.

  2. العَبدُ عَبدُ النَفسِ في شَهواتِها

    وَالحُرُّ يَشبَعُ تارَةً وَيَجوعُ

    The slave is a slave to the self in its cravings,

    while the free man is sometimes sated and sometimes hungry.
