اذا المرء كان البطن والفرج همه

ولم يسع في نيل العلى والمكارم

If a man's only concerns are his stomach and his private parts

And he does not strive for lofty matters and virtues

فلا تصحبنه بل ولا تخش فقده

فما هو الا من عداد البهائم

Then do not be his companion, no, do not even wish him well

For he is nothing but a beast walking on two legs
