1. غبنُ الضرير من النذاله

    والنصح للأعمى عداله

    Cheating the blind is baseness.

    And honesty toward the blind is justice.

  2. مسترسل مستسلم

    ولاك شهوته وماله

    Trusting and unresisting,

    He has entrusted you with his desire and his wealth.

  3. فاحكم بحكم مهذب

    باع الجهالة بالأصاله

    So judge as a refined man would,

    One who has traded ignorance for nobility.

  4. فمتى غبنت مسطلا

    فالكلب عمّك لا محاله

    So whenever you cheat a simpleton,

    Then the dog is surely your paternal uncle.
