1. إِذا أَثنى عَليَّ المَرءُ يَوماً

    بِخَيرٍ لَيسَ فِيَّ فَذاكَ هاجِ

    If a man should one day praise me

    For goodness not in me, he is a lampooner.

  2. وَحَقِيَّ إِن أَساءَ بِما إِفتَراهُ

    فَلُؤمٌ مِن غَريزَتِيَ اِبتِهاجي

    And, by my right, if he wrongs me with what he fabricates,

    Then my delight is baseness arising from my nature.
