1. لا تَثق يَوماً بِخائنْ

    فَهوَ في الإِيمان مائنْ

    Never trust a traitor,

    for he is a liar in matters of faith.

  2. وَتَباعد عَن مَكان

    هُوَ فيهِ الآن ساكن

    And keep away from a place

    where he now dwells.

  3. وَاِستَمع نصح نُصوحٍ

    طالَما لاقى الغَبائن

    And heed the counsel of a sincere adviser

    who has often suffered injustices.

  4. وَاِعتَزله وَاِجتَنبه

    وَاقطع الودّ وَباين

    And withdraw from him and avoid him,

    and sever the bond of affection and part ways.
