1. لا تُغضِبنّ الَّذي تَرميكَ أَسهُمُهُ

    فَقَد جَعَلتَ لَهُ الإِعراضَ أَغراضا

    Do not anger the one whose arrows strike you;

    For you have made your turning away into targets for him.

  2. فَالماءُ وَالنارُ بَعضٌ مِن عَناصِرِهِ

    يَغلي إِذا اِتَقَدَت وَرُبّما فاضا

    For water and fire are among his elements:

    It boils when the fire blazes, and sometimes overflows.
