1. يا صاح إِنَّ جَمال المَرء لَيسَ سِوى

    كَماله وَبَقايا الحُسن مِن تُحفِه

    O friend, a person's beauty is indeed nothing but

    His perfection; the remnants of beauty are among its gifts.

  2. مَن يَزرَع العُمر في أَرض الجَهالة لا

    يَجني سِوى الهَمّ وَالأَحزان مِن أَسفِه

    Whoever sows his lifetime in the soil of ignorance does not

    Reap anything but worry and sorrows from his regret.
