لا تَسقِ ماء التَجَنّي مَن تُصاحِبُه

فَإِنَّهُ كَدِرٌ مَن ذاقَهُ شَرِقا

Do not offer the bitter cup to your companion,

For it is turbid for whoever tastes it.

وَكُن رَفيقاً رَفيقاً لا تَكُن ضَجِراً

فَخَيرُ مَن رافَقَ الإِنسانَ مَن رَفِقا

And be a gentle friend, do not be annoyed,

For the best companion of man is he who is gentle.
