1. قَد يَرفَعُ اللَهَ الوَضيعَ بِنُكتَةٍ

    كَالنَقعِ زارَ مَعاطِساً بِمَلاطِسِ

    God may raise the lowly through a subtle cause,

    Like dust that visited nostrils through pounding stones.

  2. فَاِذهَب لِشَأنِكَ في الأُمورِ وَلا تَبِت

    كَالنَكسِ يَجنَحُ مِن حِذارِ العاطِسِ

    So go about your affairs, and do not spend the night

    Like a weakling who shrinks aside for fear of one who sneezes.
