1. Tell the prince, may God reward you with goodness
Time does not unite the foolish and the cunning
١. قُل لِلأَميرِ جَزاكَ اللهُ صالِحَةً
لا يَجمَعُ الدَهرُ بَينَ السَخلِ وَالذيبِ
2. The foolish one is ignorant, and the cunning wolf is absentminded
Yet the cunning wolf knows the goodness in the foolish one
٢. السَخلُ غِرٌّ وَهَمُّ الذِئبِ غَفلَتُهُ
وَالذِئبُ يَعلَمُ ما في السَخلِ مِن طيبِ
