ليس إثماً ما جر للشعب نفعا

إنما الإثم أن يضر بنفسه
What brings the people benefit is no sin.
It is no sin what brings the people gain
The only sin is for it to harm itself.
But sin it is to harm oneself in vain

قدhas درىlearned انthat يومهits today غيرunlike امسهits yesterday
قد درى ان يومه غير امسه
A people pays no heed to threadbare reasoning,
He cares not for the logic of the throng
Having learned that its today is unlike its yesterday.
Who knows today is not the same as long
