أَقِل عَثرة العالين تَرق ذرى العُلى

وَشَرُّ مَقيلٍ قائِلٌ غَيرُ فاعلِ

Lessen the stumble of the exalted, and ascend the highest peak

The worst refuge is one who speaks but does not act

وَلا تَمنَح الأَسفال برّاً فَإِنَّما

زَوالُ المَعالي بِاِصطِناع الأَسافلِ

Do not bestow kindness on the lowly, for

The decline of the glorious is through courting the lowly
