1. لأصبرنّ على الحمقى وإنْ حسبوا

    أنّي بحِلْمي عليهم أضعفُ الناسِ

    I shall surely bear with fools, even if they think

    that, in my forbearance toward them, I am the weakest of people.

  2. حتّى إذا نفدَت من بعدِ ذا حيَلي

    أعاذكَ الله .. من تلبيسِ خنّاسي

    Until, when my stratagems have run out after this,

    may God protect you from my lurking tempter’s deception.
