تَقييدُ نفسِكَ بِالأَغيارِ مَضيَعَةٌ
للعُمرِ فَاترُك أَخي التَقييدَ بِالناسِ
To bind yourself to others is a squandering
of life; so, my brother, cast off bondage to people.
فَلَن تَرى غَيرَ خَتّالٍ أَخا خُدَعٍ
يُريك مَمضى الهَوى في غشِّ خَنّاسِ
For you will find none but a guileful trickster, a confederate of deceits,
showing you the path of desire through the wiles of a skulking tempter.
Sol 5.6
