وَلي صَاحِبٌ نَحْسٌ على كُلِّ صَاحِبِ

هو الدّاءُ أَعْيا أَنْ يُصيبَ دَواءَ

I have a friend who brings misfortune to every friend

He is an incurable disease that cannot be cured

أَخَفُّ الوَرى عَقْلاً وأَثْقَلُ طَلْعَةً

وأَفْحَمُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَقولَ خَطاءَ

He is the lightest in intellect of all people and the heaviest in appearance

Yet he is most eloquent, unless he speaks nonsense
