1. إِن قُطِطنا لَم يَكُن نَدَمُ

    قَد يُقَطُّ الشَمعُ وَالقَلَمُ

    If we are trimmed, there will be no regret:

    The candle and the pen are sometimes trimmed.

  2. فَيُرى من قَطِّ ذاكَ سَناً

    وَتُرى من قَطِّ ذا حِكمُ

    So from trimming that one, radiance is seen,

    And from trimming this one, wise sayings are seen.
