Among those who are humiliated and honored.
١. عدِّلْ قُطوبَكَ بالبشَاشَةِ يعتدِلْ

2. The free man is easygoing, laughing, and sometimes
You find him frowning and sullen.
٢. فالحُرُّ طلْقٌ ضاحِكٌ ولرُبَّما
تلقاهُ وهوَ العابِسُ المُتَجَهِّمُ
3. Like a rose - it has fragrance and bitterness
Yet it is the intelligent, radiant, smiling one.
٣. كالوَردِ فيهِ عُفوصَةٌ ومرارَةٌ
وهو الذَّكِيُّ النّاضِرُ المُتَيسِّمُ
