1. لولا امتداحُ الأَناسي الأَرذَلينَ لما

    لَوَّثتُ يوماً نَقا عِرضي بثَلبِهِم

    Were it not for the praise of the basest people, I would not

    ever have sullied the purity of my honor by reviling them.

  2. مُذ عظَّمَ الناسُ ذا نقصٍ ومَحقَرةٍ

    أَكرَهتُ ذاتي على إِظهارِ كِذبِهم

    Since people exalted one flawed and base,

    I forced myself to expose their lies.
