1. إِذا حَبَسَ الإِنسَانُ غَربَ لِسَانِهِ

    عَنِ النَّاسِ لَم تُسرِع إِلَيهِ القَواذِفُ

    If a man restrains the sharp edge of his tongue

    from people, the missiles of slander will not hasten toward him.

  2. وَكُلُّ امرِئ لا يَأمَنُ الناسُ غَيبَهُ

    لَهُ خاذِفٌ بِالغَيبِ مِنهُم وَقاذِفُ

    And every man whom people cannot trust out of sight

    has among them a pebble-flinger and a slanderer behind his back.
