إنْ عبتَ مَنْ أهواهُ واغْتَبْتَهُ

مدحتُهُ عندي بما عِبْتَهُ

If you censure whom I love, and speak ill of him,

I praise him in my eyes for that which you censure.

ما نلتَ خيراً في الذي قلتَهُ

أغضبتني عنكَ وأغضبْتَهُ

You have not gained any good by what you said,

You have angered me against you, and angered him.
