مُصاحِبُ الرَجُل السُوءِ المُخادِعِ لا

مُصاحِبُ الرَجُل السُوءِ المُخادِعِ لا

يَزالُ من شرِّهِ في الخوفِ والقَلَقِ

يَزالُ من شرِّهِ في الخوفِ والقَلَقِ

Whoever keeps company with a wicked, deceitful man never

He who accompanies the evil deceitful man

ceases to live in fear and anxiety because of his evil.

Remains in fear and anxiety from his harm

كراكبِ البحر لا ينفكُّ من جَزَعٍ

كراكبِ البحر لا ينفكُّ من جَزَعٍ

ان يَنجُ من غَرَقٍ لا يَنجُ من فَرَقِ

ان يَنجُ من غَرَقٍ لا يَنجُ من فَرَقِ

Like one riding the sea, he is never free of dread;

Like a ship rider who cannot cease his dread

if he escapes drowning, he does not escape terror.

That he may be saved from drowning, not from being wrecked

ومَبلَغُ الفضلِ منهُ ان يَمُنَّ على

ومَبلَغُ الفضلِ منهُ ان يَمُنَّ على

من ليس يؤذيهِ بالإِحسانِ والرفقِ

من ليس يؤذيهِ بالإِحسانِ والرفقِ

And the height of his virtue is to bestow upon

And the extent of his virtue is to bestow favor

one who does him no harm kindness and gentleness.

Upon one whom he injures not with kindness and gentleness
