لا تَغْضبنَّ لذمٍّ من أَخي حَسَدٍ

وَلا تُسَرَّ بمَدْحٍ في الْمَلا نَامي

Do not be angered by the blame of an envious brother,

Nor pleased by praise in a drowsy assembly.

فالنّاسُ في كُلِّ أمْرٍ تأتِيَنَّ بهِ

ما بَيْنَ مُثْنٍ بهِ يَوْماً ونَمَّامِ

For people in everything they undertake

Vacillate between praise one day and blame the next.
