Claude 2

  1. أَرى اللُبَّ مِرآةَ اللَبيبِ وَمَن يَكُن

    مَرائِيَّهُ الإِخوانُ يَصدُق وَيَكذِبِ

    I see the kernel as the mirror of the wise, and he who has

    As confidants the brothers will believe and lie.

  2. أَأَخشى عَذابَ اللَهِ وَاللَهُ عادِلٌ

    وَقَد عِشتُ عَيشَ المُستَضامِ المُعَذَّبِ

    Shall I fear the torment of Allah while Allah is just,

    When I have lived the life of the oppressed, the tormented?

  3. نَعَم إِنَّها الأَرزاقُ وَالمَرءُ جاهِلٌ

    يُهَذِّبُ مِن دُنياهُ ما لَم يُهَذَّبِ

    Yes, these are the fortunes, and man is ignorant,

    He disciplines from his world what was not disciplined.

  4. فَإِنَّ حِبالَ الشَمسِ لَسنَ ثَوابِتاً

    لِشَدِّ رِحالٍ أَو قَوابِضَ جُذَّبِ

    For the ropes of the sun are not fixed tent pegs

    For one who pulls up stakes or twists what is knotted.
