وَمِن نَكَدِ الدُنيا عَلى الحُرِّ أَن يَرى

أَخِلّاءِ لا يَصفو لَهُ مِنهُ وُدُّ

It troubles the free that he should see

Treacherous friends who have no true affection

عَلى أَنَّهُ يَلقى عَلى رُغمِ أَنفِهِ

عَدّوا لَهُ ما مِن صَداقَتِهِ بُدُّ

Though it irks him, he will find as foes

Enemies he once thought were his protection
