مُحَيَّاهُ وَبَاطِنُهُ حَزِينُ
And a two-faced man—you find him cheerful
Two-faced, he appears cheerful
In countenance, though his inner self is sorrowful.
when he greets you, but sadness dwells within.

وَبَيْنَ ضُلُوعِهِ ضَبٌّ كَمِينُ
He offers you hopes with a white gazelle’s glances,
He feigns affection with coy glances,
And between his ribs a spiny-tailed lizard lurks.
yet between his ribs lurks a hidden asp.
