1. أَبٌنّي إِنَّ مِنَ الرِجالِ بَهيمَةً

    في صورَةِ الرَجُلِ السَميعِ المُبصِرِ

    My son, among men there is a beast

    In the form of a man who hears and sees,

  2. فَطِنٌ بِكُلِّ رَزّيَةٍ في مالِهِ

    وَإِذا أُصيبَ بِدينِهُ لَم يَشعُرِ

    Alert to every calamity affecting his wealth,

    Yet when afflicted in his faith, he does not notice.
