لَستُ الوَضيعَ وَلا الصَغيرَ وَإِنَّما
أَنتَ الوَضيعُ عَنِ الوَضيعِ الأَصغَرِ
I am neither lowly nor insignificant; rather,
you are the lowly one—beneath even the least of the lowly.
لا تَفخَرَنَّ وَإِن غَدَوتَ مُقَدَّماً
فَعَلى جَبينِكَ سيمياءُ مُؤَخَّرِ
Never boast, though you come to be placed first;
for upon your brow is the mark of one placed last.
