The lion has a thicket in the heart of the wilderness;
The lion has a thicket within the wilderness;
Around its edges, the dogs bark.
Dogs bark at its edges.

وعادة العاجز السباب
For it is the noble man’s way to turn a blind eye,
For the noble man's habit is to lower his gaze,
And the helpless man’s way to hurl abuse.
And the powerless man's habit is to hurl abuse.
