أرب من تغتشّه لكَ ناصحٌ

ومؤتمنٍ بالغيبِ غيرُ أمينِ

Four who wish you well and are sincere advisors,

Trustworthy in private though publicly not loyal.

فلا يختلبكَ القولُ لا فعلَ تحتَهُ

فكم من نصيحٍ باللسانِ خؤون

Let not their words or deeds deceive you,

For many give advice in speech yet harbor malice.
