1. كَإِنائِكِ الجِسمُ الَّذي هُوَ صورَةٌ

    لَكِ في الحَياةِ فَحاذِري أَن تُخَدعي

    Like your vessel is the body, which is a form

    for you in life—so beware of being deceived.

  2. لا فَضلَ لِلقَدَحِ الَّذي اِستَودَعتَهُ

    ضَرَباً وَلَكِن فَضلُهُ لِلمودَعِ

    No merit belongs to the cup you have entrusted with

    thick white honey; rather, its merit belongs to what it holds.
