1. وَمَن يَتَخَمَّط بِالمَظالِمِ قَومُهُ

    وَإِن كَرُمَت فيهِم وَعَزَّت مَناصِبُهْ

    And whoever tyrannizes over his people with injustice,

    though his standing among them be noble and exalted,

  2. يُخَدَّش بِأَظفارِ العَشيرَةِ خَدُّهُ

    وَيُجرَحْ رَكوباً صَفحَتاهُ وَغارِبُهْ

    will have his cheek scratched by the claws of his clan,

    and, used as a mount, have his flanks and withers wounded.
