How can I hope for good order in the affairs of a people
who have utterly neglected prudence in them?
فَمُطاعُfor the one obeyed المَقالِin speech غَيرُnot سَديدٍsound in judgment
فَمُطاعُ المَقالِ غَيرُ سَديدٍ
وَسَديدُand the one sound المَقالِin speech غَيرُnot مُطاعِobeyed
وَسَديدُ المَقالِ غَيرُ مُطاعِ
For the one whose words are obeyed lacks sound judgment,
while the one whose words are sound is not obeyed.
