1. لا تَرْكَنَنَّ إِلَى النَّمَّامِ إِنَّ لَهُ

    خَدْعاً يُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ الرُّوحِ وَالْبَدَنِ

    Never trust the talebearer, for he has

    Deceit that parts the soul from the body.

  2. لَوْ لَمْ تَكُنْ قِصَّةُ النَّمَّامِ كَاذِبَةً

    مَا كَانَ يَسْتُرُهَا عَنْ مَعْرِضِ الْعَلَنِ

    If the talebearer’s tale were not false,

    He would not conceal it from public view.
