1. خليليَّ ليس الرَّأي ما تَرَيَان

    فَشأنكما أنِّي ذَهبتُ لِشَاني

    My two friends, sound judgment is not what you two think.

    So mind your own affairs; I have gone to attend to mine.

  2. خليليَّ لولا أنَّ في السَّعي نفعه

    لما كان يوماً يدأبُ القَمَرانِ

    My two friends, were there no benefit in striving,

    the sun and moon would not toil even for a day.
