1. None can counsel people aright save him who has been tried,
Humble, though wise; nor shall any be wise, save he that is kind.
١. وَما ساسَ أَمرَ الناسِ إِلّا مُجَرِّبٌ
حَليمٌ وَلا صافَيتَ مِثلَ كَريمِ
2. Let the humble heed the counsels that his own soul gives;
The proud man has no monitor like humility.
٢. فَما لِحَليمٍ وَاعِظٌ مِثلَ نَفسِهِ
وَلا لِسَفيهٍ واعِظٌ كَحَليمِ
