فَلا تَفشِ سِرَّكَ إِلّا إِلَيكَ

فَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَصيحٍ نَصيحاً

Do not reveal your secret except to yourself

Do not reveal your secret to anyone but yourself,

For every advisor has an advisor

For indeed, every confidant has a confidant of his own;

وَإِنّي رَأَيتُ غُواةَ الرِجالِ

لا يَترُكونَ أَديماً صحيحاً

And I have seen treacherous men

And I have seen the transgressors among men—

Who leave no whole skin

They leave no hide intact.
