جارَكَ يا مَضاءَ فَإِنَّ جاري

حَرامٌ عِرضُهُ حَتّى يَبينا

O light, beware of harming your neighbor

His honor is sacrosanct, until proven false

وَلا توهي شِمالَكَ لِلأَعادي

فَقَد تَصِلُ الشِمالُ لَكَ اليَمينا

And do not point your left hand towards enemies

For the left may reach out to the right in friendship

وَلا تَزجُر كِلابَكَ وَاِصطَنِعها

لِتُطعِمَها كِلابَ الأَبعَدينا

Do not chase away your dogs, care for them

So they may feed the dogs of distant tribes

فَإِنَّ الثَوبَ يُلبَسُ وَهوَ يُؤذي

وَلَو يُلقى لَصادَفَ لابِسينا

For clothes are worn despite causing harm

And if discarded, they may clothe others in need
