1. أَتُكَرِّمُني سِرّاً وَتَثلِمُني جَهراً

    لَعَمرُكَ هَذا حالُ مَن أَضمَرَ الغَدرَ

    Do you honor me in secret and disparage me openly?

    By your life, this is the way of one who harbors treachery.

  2. فَهَلاً عَكَستَ الحالَ أَو كُنتَ جاعِلاً

    بَعَدلِكَ إِحدى الحالَتَينِ كَما الأُخرى

    Then why not reverse the situation, or make

    One treatment, in your fairness, the same as the other?
