وَما حَسنٌ أَن يَمدَحَ المَرءُ نَفسَهُ

وَما حَسنٌ أَن يَمدَحَ المَرءُ نَفسَهُ

وَلكِنَّ أَخلاقاً تُذَمُّ وَتُمدَحُ

وَلكِنَّ أَخلاقاً تُذَمُّ وَتُمدَحُ

It is not seemly for a man to praise himself;

It is not befitting that a man should praise himself,

But character traits are censured and praised.

But morals that are condemned or lauded.
