1. إِذا الحُرُّ لَم يَستَعبِدِ الشَرَّ لَم يَكُن

    إِذا شَكَرَ الأَحرار بِالذَمِّ يَعرِفُ

    If the free man has not subdued evil, he will not be

    one who knows reproach when he thanks the free.

  2. فَلا تَعرِفَن ما عِشتَ ممَن لَم يَكُن لِما

    يُزَيِّنُهُ غَيرَ وُدِّكَ مَعرَفُ

    So never, while you live, acknowledge anyone who has no knowledge of what

    adorns him, save your affection.
