1. لَيسَ الشَجاعَةُ في مُصافَحَةِ الفَتى

    شُهبَ الرِماحِ بِوَجهِهِ وَبِنَحرِهِ

    Courage is not in a young man's clasping

    the meteors of spears with his face and throat.

  2. إِنَّ الشَجاعَةَ في السُكوتِ لِكاذِب

    عَن صِدقِ سامِعِ كِذبِهِ عَن أَمرِهِ

    Indeed, courage lies in silence before one who lies

    about the honesty of the hearer of his lies about his affairs.
