1. لا تَعبَأَن بِاِبنِ الوَليدِ فَإِنَّهُ

    يَرميكَ بَعدَ ثَلاثَةٍ بِمِلالِ

    Pay no heed to Ibn al-Walid, for he

    will tire of you after three days.

  2. إِنَّ المَلولَ وَإِن تَقادَمَ عَهدُهُ

    كانَت مَوَدَّتُهُ كَفَيءِ ظِلالِ

    Indeed, one who tires easily, though his bond be long-standing,

    has affection like the shade of shadows.
