اِنصَح فَإِنَّ النُصحَ لِلمَرءِ مِث

لُ الغَيثِ أَروى بِوابِلٍ وَبَغَش

Advise, for advice to a man is like

Rain pouring in torrents to make all grow.

وَراقِبِ اللَهَ أَن تَغُشَّ فَقَد

يَفسُدُ رَأيُ اللَبيبِ حينَ يُغَش

And fear God that you cheat not your brother,

For even the wise may play the fool.
