1. قد كنت لا شئ في الأنام لكي

    تصفع من صانع وإن عدلا

    You were indeed nothing among humankind, that you should

    be slapped by a craftsman, even if he acted justly.

  2. فذاك ما كان ضاربا رجلا

    لكنه راح ضاربا مثلا

    For that one was not striking a man;

    rather, he went on to set an example.
