1. The enmity of the wise is better
When you get it from the stupidity of the fool
١. عَداوَةُ العاقِلِ خَيرٌ إِذا
حُصِّلتَها مِن خُلَّةِ الأَحمَقِ
2. Because the one with wisdom, if not moved
From his patience, is ashamed and does not transgress
٢. لِأَنَّ ذا العَقلِ إِذا لَم يُزَع
عَن حِلمِهِ اِستَحيا فَلَم يَخرُقِ
3. And you will not see a fool who keeps
Any religion, or affection, or piety
٣. وَلَن تَرى الأَحمَقَ يُبقي عَلى
دينٍ وَلا وُدٍّ وَلا يَتَّقي
