1. لقد لامني لما بخلت بخاطري

    عليه ولم آمن ضلالته فيه

    Indeed, he reproached me when I withheld my thought

    from him, and feared his folly concerning it.

  2. فقال أتخشى أن يذيع لغفلتي

    فقلت أجل قلب المغفّل في فيه

    Then he said, “Do you fear it will spread because of my heedlessness?”

    I replied, “Yes—the fool’s heart is in his mouth.”
