1. شَيئَانِ لا يَجِدُ المُشتَمُّ بَينَهُما

    فَرقاً وَما بِهِما فَقرٌ إِلى طيبِ

    Two things the reviled finds no difference between,

    And neither needs pleasantness:

  2. شُمَّ الحَبيبِ وَريحُ الراحِ بَعدُ وَلَم

    أَحكُم بِذَلِكَ إِلّا بَعدَ تَجريبِ

    The scent of the beloved, and the wind of the riding camel after departure,

    And I judged this only after experiencing it.
