The lion has a thicket in the heart of the wilderness;

The lion has a thicket within the wilderness;

Around its edges, the dogs bark.

Dogs bark at its edges.

فعادة الحر غض طرف

فعادة الحر غض طرف

وعادة العاجز السباب

وعادة العاجز السباب

For it is the noble man’s way to turn a blind eye,

For the noble man's habit is to lower his gaze,

And the helpless man’s way to hurl abuse.

And the powerless man's habit is to hurl abuse.
