وَبَنو الدَيّانِ لا يَأتونَ لا
وَعَلى أَلسُنِهِم خَفَّت نَعَم
The sons of al-Dayyān never utter “no”;
while “yes” comes lightly upon their tongues.
زَيَّنَت أَحلامُهُم أَحسابُهُم
وَكَذاكَ الحِلمُ زَينٌ لِلكَرَم
Their forbearance adorns their noble lineage,
and thus forbearance is an adornment to generosity.
Sol 5.6
