1. العَدلُ ميزاني فَمن يرَ غيرَهُ

    عَدلا فإنَّي تارِكٌ ميزانَهُ

    Justice is my scale; whoever deems anything else

    just, I forsake his scale.

  2. والحِلُم من شَأني فإنْ شانَ امرُؤٌ

    أدَباً بَحدَّتِهِ فحِلمي زانَهُ

    And forbearance is part of my nature; if a man mars

    courtesy with his harshness, my forbearance adorns it.
