1. مَتّى ما تُخالِط عالَمَ الإِنسِ لا يَزَل

    بِسَمعِكَ وَقرٌ مِن مَقالِ سَفيهِ

    Whenever you mingle with humankind, there will always be

    A heaviness in your hearing from a fool's speech.

  2. إِذا ما الفَتى لَم يَرمِ شَخصَكَ عامِداً

    بِكَفَّيهِ عَن ضَغنٍ رَماكَ بِفيهِ

    If a young man does not deliberately assail you

    With his two hands out of spite, he assails you with his mouth.

  3. وَقَد عَلِمَ اللَهُ اِعتِقادي وَإِنَّني

    أَعوذُ بِهِ مِن شَرِّ ما أَنا فيهِ

    And God knows my belief, and indeed I

    Seek refuge in Him from the evil of the state I am in.
