1. مَن بهرجَ زَيفَه اِمتِحانُ السَيفِ

    أَلغاه وَقَولهُ بَيانُ السَيفِ

    He whose falseness the sword's trial has exposed—

    The sword's declaration has nullified him and his words.

  2. إِن يَشحُ فَماً بِهَجرِهِ ذو سَفَهٍ

    فالفاصِلُ بَينَنا لِسانُ السَيفِ

    If a fool opens his mouth with his abusive speech,

    Then the arbiter between us is the tongue of the sword.
