1. لي صاحبٌ دغل على علاته

    متودّد ويقول ما لا يفعل

    I have a deceitful friend who, for all his faults,

    Shows affection and says what he does not do.

  2. ما زال يظهر باللسان مودّة

    والعين تغمزني بأن لا تقبل

    He keeps displaying affection with his tongue,

    While his eye signals me not to accept it.
