1. إِذا الخِلُّ لَم يَغفِر إِساءَةَ خِلِّهِ

    فَما ذاكَ إِلّا لِاِختِلالِ المَكارِمِ

    If a friend does not forgive his friend's offense,

    then that is due only to a failure of noble virtues.

  2. فَكُن آيِساً مِن طَعمِ شُكرٍ تَذوقُهُ

    إِذا لَم يَكُن في الذَوقِ حُلوَ المَطاعِمِ

    So despair of the taste of gratitude you might savor,

    if its flavors are not sweet to the palate.
