1. أَنكرُوا المعروفَ حتَّى

    صارَ بينَ القَوْم مُنْكَرْ

    They rejected goodness until

    it became objectionable among the people.

  2. وَتَناسَوْهُ فَدَعْ ذِكْ

    رَكَ شيئاً ليسَ يُذْكَرْ

    And they feigned forgetting it; so abandon your men-

    tion of something that goes unmentioned.
