1. لا تَنطُقَن بِمَقالَة في مَجلِس

    تَخشى عَواقِبُها وَكُن ذا مصدق

    In a gathering, never utter a statement

    whose consequences you fear; and be truthful.

  2. وَاِحفَظ لِسانَكَ أَن تَقولَ فَتَبتَلى

    إِن البَلاءَ موكل بِالمَنطِق

    And guard your tongue lest you speak and be afflicted;

    indeed, affliction is bound to speech.
