1. العَيبُ في الرجلِ المذكُورِ مَذكُورُ

    والعَيبُ في الخاملِ المستورِ مَستورُ

    A fault in a well-known man is talked about;

    And a fault in an obscure, hidden man stays hidden.

  2. كَفُوفةِ الظُّفرِ تَخفى مِن مَهانَتها

    ومِثلها في سَوادِ العَينِ مَشهورُ

    Like a white speck on a fingernail, unnoticed because of its insignificance;

    Yet its like in the black of the eye is conspicuous.
