1. ليس إثماً ما جر للشعب نفعا

    إنما الإثم أن يضر بنفسه

    What brings the people benefit is no sin.

    The only sin is for it to harm itself.

  2. لا يبالي بمنطق رث شعب

    قد درى ان يومه غير امسه

    A people pays no heed to threadbare reasoning,

    Having learned that its today is unlike its yesterday.
