Enters into what does not concern him.

إِذا بَدا شاهدتَ مُستَثقِلاً

إِذا بَدا شاهدتَ مُستَثقِلاً

قَ ضَلَّ في تيهٍ مِنَ التيهِ

قَ ضَلَّ في تيهٍ مِنَ التيهِ

When he appears, you see him weighed down -

[Unclear fragment]—lost in a wilderness of conceit.

Lost in straying, straying from the straying.
