تَجَنَّبْ أَحادِيثَ الحَسُودِ فواجِبُ

تَجَنُّبُهُ فِيما يَقُولُ وَيَفْعَلُ

Avoid the talk of the envious, for it's a duty

To avoid him in what he says and does

وَكُلُّ حَسُودٍ ما عَدَتْهُ مَلامَةٌ

وَكُلُّ لَئِيمٍ ما عَلَيْهِ مُعَوَّلُ

Every envious person blames without cause

And every vile person is not to be relied upon

مَتَى قال عَنِّي السُّوءَ عِنْدَكَ إنَّهُ

كذَاكَ يَقُولُ السُّوءَ عَنْكَ وَيَنْقُلُ

When he speaks ill of me to you, he

Speaks ill of you and transmits in the same way
