1. لا تسألِ الكذابَ عن نياتِهِ

    مادامَ كذاباً عليكَ لسانهُ

    Do not ask the liar about his intentions,

    so long as his tongue lies to you.

  2. ينبيكَ ما في وجههِ عن قلبهِ

    إن الكتابَ لسانهُ عنوانهُ

    What appears on his face tells you of his heart;

    indeed, a book's tongue is its title.
