كمن الظرف عنده ابن سبيل
No one with whom refinement dwells forever
Misfortune oft' visits those with time to spare
Is like one with whom refinement is a wayfarer.
Unlike those with duties, hardly troubled by care

لطف خلقٍ إلا بألف كفيل
A disposition from which scarcely springs
He whose nature is kind, whose spirit is fair
Gentleness of character, save with a thousand guarantors.
Will spread goodness with the aid of the Lord's loving care
Sol 6.1
