1. لَقَدْ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ والكاتبانِ

    مَا قَالَ في عِرْضِي الكاتبُ

    God and the two scribes have surely heard

    what the writer said against my honor.

  2. وَماضَرَّني مَا يَقولُ العَدُوُّ

    إذا رَدَّ غَيْبَتَي الصَّاحِبُ

    And what the enemy says does me no harm

    if my friend counters the backbiting against me.
