1. Be ignorant or feign ignorance, you’ll succeed
Ignorance in this world has great renown
١. كُن جاهِلاً أَو فَتَجاهَل تَفُز
لِلجَهلِ في ذا الدَهرِ جاهٌ عَريضُ
2. While virtue is deprived, seeing what it sees
As an heir views the eyes of one about to drown
٢. وَالفَضلُ مَحرومٌ يَرى ما يَرى
كَما يَرى الوارِثُ عَينَ المَريض
