1. ذَكِّرْ أخاكَ إذا تناسى واجِباً

    أو عَنَّ في آرائهِ تَقصيرُ

    Remind your brother when he neglects a duty,

    or a shortcoming appears in his judgments;

  2. فالرَّأيُ يَصْدَأُ كالحُسامِ لعارضِ

    يطرا عَليهِ وَصْقلُهُ التَّذكيرُ

    for judgment rusts like a keen sword from an affliction

    that comes upon it, and reminders are its polish.
