1. بَلَوْتُ سَرائِرَ الإِخْوَانِ حَتَّى

    رَأَيْتُ عَدُوَّ نَفْسِي مِنْ حَبِيبِي

    I probed the hidden thoughts of friends until

    I found my own enemy in my dear friend.

  2. فَلا تَأْمَنْ عَلَى سِرٍّ صِحاباً

    فَإِنَّهُمُ جَواسِيسُ الْعُيُوبِ

    So trust no companions with a secret,

    For they are spies seeking out faults.
