1. إِذا ما كُنتَ مُتَّخُذاً خَليلاً

    فَخالِل مِثلَ حُسّانَ بنِ سَعدِ

    If ever you are to take a close friend,

    then befriend one like Hussan ibn Sa'd:

  2. فَتىً لا يَرزَأُ الخُلّانُ شَيئاً

    وَيَرزَؤُهُ الخَليلُ بِغَيرِ كَدِّ

    a young man who takes nothing from his friends,

    while his friend takes from him without effort.
