اُستُر عُيوبَك إِنَّ النّاسَ تُبصِرُها

ولستَ تبصرها إذ أنتَ تُبديها

Hide your flaws, for people see them

While you don't see them when you reveal them

فَالمَرءُ مِن غَيرِه كم شامَ فقحتَه

وَلَيسَ مِن نَفسِهِ يَوماً بِرائِيها

How often a man is repulsed by another's stench

Yet never senses the reek of his own
