1. لَستُ بِذي دَحسٍ وَلا تَعريضِ

    إِلّا جِهارَ المَنطِقِ المَخفوضِ

    I am not given to covert malice or insinuation;

    I speak only openly, in a lowered voice.

  2. أَفقَأُ عَينَ الشانِئِ البَغيضِ

    فَقءَ الطَبيبِ قُرحَةَ المَريضِ

    I put out the eye of the hateful enemy,

    As a physician lances a patient's sore.
