اجَتنِب أَخلاقَ مَن لَم تَرضَهُ

اجَتنِب أَخلاقَ مَن لَم تَرضَهُ

لا تَعِبهُ ثُمَّ تَقفُو في الأَثَر

لا تَعِبهُ ثُمَّ تَقفُو في الأَثَر

Shun the ways of anyone you do not approve of;

Shun the ways of one you do not approve of.

Do not fault him, then follow in his footsteps.

Do not criticize him and then follow in his footsteps.
