لا تضعْ منْ عظيمِ قدرٍ وان كُن

تَ مُشاراً اليه بالتَّعظيمِ

Do not over-esteem a person of high rank, even if

you are inclined to hold him in high esteem.

فالشريفُ الكريم ينْقصُ قَدْراً

بالتَّعَدي على الشَّريفِ الكريمِ

For the noble man of dignity loses dignity

by aggression against the noble man of dignity.

ولعُ الخمرِ بالعُقولِ رمى الخَمْرَ

بتَنْجيسِها وبالتَّحْريمِ

And the wine's madness on minds made wine

filthy through its impurity and prohibition.
