1. رَأيتُ الملحَ يُصلِحُ كُلَّ أدمٍ

    صلاحَ النّفْسِ يبسُطُها المزاحُ

    I have seen salt improve every dish;

    Jesting cheers the soul and brings it well-being.

  2. فَهَلْ منْ حيلةٍ في الملحِ يَبْدو

    فسادٌ فيهِ والملحُ الصّلاحُ

    So is there any remedy for salt when there appears

    Corruption within it, though salt itself sets things right?
