1. إذا ازدرى ساقِطٌ كَريماً

    فلا يَطولَنَّ ضِيقُ صَدْرِهْ

    If a base man scorns a noble one,

    let the distress in his breast not linger;

  2. فأكثَرُ النَّاسِ مُنذُ كانُوا

    ما قدَرُوا اللهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهْ

    for most people, ever since they came to be,

    have not esteemed God as He deserves.
