ثلاثٌ بهن المرءُ يزدادُ رفعةً

ولا مثلها للمرء في الدهر رافعهْ

Three things make a man rise in esteem:

Nothing else raises a man's worth as they.

تواضعُه والزهدُ عما يريده

وسترُ المساوى فهْي للمرء نافعَهْ

His humility, his asceticism in desires,

And covering the flaws of others - beneficial for every man.
