1. قَومٌ إِذا أَكَلوا أَخفَوا كَلامَهُمُ

    وَاِستَوثَقوا مِن رِتاجِ البابِ وَالدارِ

    A people who, when they eat, hush their speech,

    And make sure the door and house are securely bolted.

  2. لا يَقبِسُ الجارُ مِنهُم فَضلَ نارِهِمُ

    وَلا تُكَفُّ يَدٌ عَن حُرمَةِ الجارِ

    No neighbor takes a flame from their surplus fire,

    And no hand is restrained from violating a neighbor’s sanctity.
