لا تَلحَ في قَصدِ مَن لا خَيرَ فيهِ إِذا

لا تَلحَ في قَصدِ مَن لا خَيرَ فيهِ إِذا

ما اِستَحسَنَ المَرءُ فيهِ غَيرَ ما حَسنِ

ما اِستَحسَنَ المَرءُ فيهِ غَيرَ ما حَسنِ

Do not blame someone for seeking one in whom there is no good, when

Do not pursue the purpose of one who has no good in him, if

a man finds pleasing in him what is not good.

The person saw in him other than what was good.

فَرُبَّما دَعَتِ الظَمآنَ غُلَّتُهُ

فَرُبَّما دَعَتِ الظَمآنَ غُلَّتُهُ

إِلى ضَرورَةِ شُربِ الآسنِ الأَجِنِ

إِلى ضَرورَةِ شُربِ الآسنِ الأَجِنِ

For sometimes the thirsty man's burning thirst drives him

So sometimes extreme thirst calls him,

to the necessity of drinking stagnant, fetid water.

To the necessity of drinking from impure waters.
