1. أَنِل ذَنبَ خَلِّكَ سِلمَ الرِضا

    وُلا تَكُ بِالعَتبِ مُستَنجِدا

    Grant your friend's offense the peace of acceptance,

    And do not seek help through reproach.

  2. فَأَينَ الصَديقُ كَما يَنبَغي

    بَعيدٌ لِعُمرِكَ أَن يوجَدا

    For where is the friend as he ought to be?

    By your life, such a friend is unlikely to be found.
