ولستَ تبصرها إذ أنتَ تُبديها
Hide your faults, for people see them.
Hide your flaws, for people see them
Yet you do not see them when you reveal them.
While you don't see them when you reveal them
فَالمَرءُfor a person مِنof غَيرِهsomeone other than himself كمhow often شامَsaw فقحتَهhis anus
فَالمَرءُ مِن غَيرِه كم شامَ فقحتَه
وَلَيسَand he is not مِنof نَفسِهِhimself يَوماًever بِرائِيهاseeing it
وَلَيسَ مِن نَفسِهِ يَوماً بِرائِيها
For a man has often seen another's anus,
How often a man is repulsed by another's stench
Yet he never sees his own.
Yet never senses the reek of his own
Sol 6.1
