1. هيهاتَ هيهاتَ كلُّ الناسِ قد قُلِبُوا

    في قالبِ الغدرِ والإعجابِ والَملَقِ

    Far from it, far from it! All people have been cast

    in the mold of treachery, conceit, and flattery.

  2. فإن تخلّقَ منهم بالنُّهى رجلٌ

    عادت به نفسُه لؤماً إلى الخلُقِ

    So if a man among them adopts the ways of reason,

    his soul, out of baseness, brings him back to his nature.
