لا خَيرَ في العالِمينَ كُلِّهِمُ
وَلا مِنَ العالَمينَ مُنفَرِدا
There is no good in all the learned men taken together,
nor in any one person among mankind taken alone.
لا يَسلَمُ المَرءُ حينَ يَصلُحُ مِن
ذَمِّ حَسودٍ فَكَيفَ إِن فَسَدا
No man is safe, even when he acts rightly, from
an envier’s censure—how then, if he turns corrupt?
Sol 5.6
