لا تَصحَبَن مَلِكاً أَو مَن يَلوذُ بِهِ
وَإِن تَنَل مِنهُمُ عِزّاً وَتَمكينا
Never keep company with a king, or anyone who seeks his protection,
even if you gain honor and power from them.
يَستَخدِمونَك في لَذّاتِ أَنفُسِهِم
وَيَذهَبُ العُمرُ لا دُنيا وَلا دِينا
They use you to gratify their own desires,
and your lifetime slips away—with neither worldly gain nor faith.
Sol 5.6
