1. Hard-hearted and harsh, no affection does he possess
Nor companion to comfort and console his loneliness
١. وفَظّ غَليظِ القلبِ لاَ وِدَّ عندَهُ
وَلَيسَ لَدَيهِ للأخِلاَّء تأنيسُ
2. His humility is pride, his intimacy cold disdain
His welcome bitter reproach, his greeting cause for pain
٢. تَوَاضُعُهُ كِبرٌ وتقرِيبُهُ جدفاً
وترحيبُهُ مقتٌ وَبُشرَاهُ تأيِيسُ
