Sol 6.1

  1. مَن يُخبِركَ بِسَبٍّ عَن أَخٍ

    فَهُوَ الشاتِمُ لا مَن شَتَمَك

    Whoever tells you of an insult from a brother,

    he is the insulter, not the one who insulted you.

  2. ذاكَ أَمرٌ لَم يُواجِهكَ بِهِ

    إِنَّما اللَومُ عَلى مَن أَعلَمَك

    That is something he did not say to your face;

    the blame lies only with the one who told you.

  3. إِنَّ ذا اللُؤمِ إِذا أَكرَمتَهُ

    حَسِبَ الإِكرامَ حَقّاً لَزِمَك

    Indeed, a base man, when you honor him,

    deems that honor a right binding upon you.

  4. كيف لم ينصركَ إن كان أخاً

    ذا حفاظٍ عندَ من قد ظلمك

    Why did he not defend you, if he was a brother

    loyal to his bonds, in the presence of the one who wronged you?

  5. فأهنه إنّهُ من لؤمِهِ

    إن تردهُ بهوانٍ أكرمك

    So humiliate him, for in his baseness,

    if you rebuff him with contempt, he will honor you.
