يُضَعِّفُني حِلمي وكَثْرَةُ جَهْلِهمْ

عَلَيَّ وأنِّي لاَ أَصُولُ بِجَاهِلِ

Their abundant ignorance and my dream weaken me,

And that I do not contend with an ignorant person.

دَفَعْتُكُمُ عَنِّي وَمَا دَفْعُ رَاحَةٍ

بِشَيْءٍ إِذا لَمْ تَسْتَعِنْ بالأنَامِلِ

I repelled you from me, but repelling is not restful,

With anything, if you do not seek help from your fingers.
