1. يستصعب القول الصريح لسانه

    ويجىء بعد عنائهِ بالمبهمِ

    His tongue finds plain speech difficult,

    And after its toil, it produces ambiguous words.

  2. وإذا عصاه لسانه يعتاضه

    بالسب والقول الشديد المؤلمِ

    And when his tongue disobeys him, he makes up for it

    With abuse and harsh, hurtful speech.
