اصطلح السائل والمسؤول
ليس إلى مكرمة سبيل
The asker and the one petitioned have made their peace;
The petitioner and the one petitioned have come to terms.
There is no path to any noble deed.
There is no path to generosity.
غال بإخوان الوفاء غول
كلّ امرىء بشأنه مشغول
A ghoul has carried off the brethren of fidelity;
A ghoul has done away with the brothers of loyalty.
Every man is preoccupied with his own affairs.
Every man is occupied with his own affairs.
Sol 6.1
