1. Why does the ignorant man insult my honor with his own dishonor?
By your life, after this insult I am the one insulted!
١. أَيَشتُمُ عِرضي الباهِليُّ بِعِرضِهِ
لَعَمرُكَ إِنّي بَعدَها لَمُشَتَّمُ
2. Is it not a sign of the Day of Judgment that an honorable man is confronted
By a despicable man, utterly defamed?
٢. أَلَيسَ مِنَ أَشراطِ القِيامَةِ أَن يُرى
كَريمٌ يُلاحيهُ لَئيمٌ مُذَمَّمُ
