1. تَرَكتُ حَبيباً مِن يَدي مِن هَوانِهِ

    وَأَقبَلتُ في شَأني وَوَلّى بِشانِه

    I let a beloved go from my grasp, so little did I esteem him.

    And I turned to my own affairs, while he went off to his.

  2. أَرى عَوَراتِ الناسِ يَخفى مَكانَها

    وَعَورَتُهُ في عَقلِهِ وَلِسانِهِ

    I see that people's flaws lie hidden,

    While his flaw lies in his mind and his tongue.
