1. هِيَ الدُنيا تَقولُ بِمِلءِ فيها

    حَذارِ حَذارِ مِن بَطشي وَفَتكي

    The world herself speaks at the top of her voice:

    Beware, beware of my violence and my deadly assault.

  2. وَلا يَغرُركُم حُسنُ اِبتِسامي

    فَقَولي مُضحِكٌ وَالفِعلُ مُبكي

    And do not let the beauty of my smile deceive you,

    For my words bring laughter, and my deeds bring tears.
