1. أَصبَحَت لا تَعرِفُ الجَميلَ وَلا

    تَفرِقُ بَينَ القَبيحِ وَالحَسَنِ

    You no longer recognize goodness, nor

    distinguish between the ugly and the beautiful.

  2. إِنَّ الَّذي يَرتَجي نَداكَ كَمَن

    يَحلِبُ تَيساً مِن شَهوَةِ اللَبَنِ

    Indeed, whoever hopes for your generosity is like one

    who milks a billy goat out of a craving for milk.
