ما يَقرُبُ المَرءُ مِن قِرنٍ يَلَذُّ بِهِ

حَتّى يَكونَ بَعيداً مِن تَعَصُّبِهِ

What brings a person close to a companion he takes pleasure in

Is to be far from bigoted partisanship towards him

فَتَركُهُ لِلتَجَنّي فيهِ قائِدَةٌ

لِأَنَّهُ لَيسَ يَجدي ما يُسَرُّ بِهِ

So leaving him to be unfair to him is a principle

Because it is of no use what pleases him
