1. توقَّ شَراهةً عاثت بحسمٍ

    فان يُهدَم بناؤُك مستحيلُ

    Beware gluttony that has wrought havoc with decisiveness;

    For if it is demolished, rebuilding you is impossible.

  2. لان الجِسمَ بيتُ النفسِ لكن

    يحقُّ لها إذا انهدمَ الرحيلُ

    For the body is the soul’s house, but

    It is entitled to depart if that house collapses.
