إِذا كُنتَ ذا اِثنَتَينِ فَاِعدِل أَوِ اِتَّحِد

بِنَفسِكَ فَالتَوحيدُ أَولى مِنَ العَدلِ

If you have two sides then be just or unite

Yourself, for oneness is better than justice.

شِفاهُ المَها تُفني يَساراً تَيفئُهُ

عَلَيكَ المَهاري مِن مَشافِرِها الهُدلِ

The lips of passion destroy the left that shelter it,

Beware of her skillful claws that tear and rend.
