1. بَعض الرِجال يَعد الوَهم عارفة

    في جود مَن هُوَ بِالإِحسان مُتَهَم

    Some men count an illusion as a favor

    in the generosity of one suspected of benevolence.

  2. وَفي الرِجال حصور العَقل ذوهم

    آذانُهُ بِالأَماني لَيسَ تَحتلم

    And among men is one chaste of mind, full of care;

    his ears do not have wet dreams from wishes.
