خَفْ يا كريمُ على عِرضٍ يدنسُهُ
مقالُ كلِّ سيفهٍ لا يقاسُ بكا
Guard well, noble one, the honor defiled
by the words of every fool who is no match for you.
اِن الزجاجةَ مهما كسرِتْ سُبِكَتْ
وكم تكَسَّرَ دُرٌّ ثم ما سُبِكَا
A glass vessel, however often broken, can be recast;
but many a pearl has shattered, never to be recast.
