1. قد تسْتوِي في الحَرَكات الورَى

    لكنْ لَدَى السَّبْقِتَبِينُ الرُّتَبْ

    People may be alike in their movements,

    but in the race their ranks become clear.

  2. كم طار صَقْرٌ وغُرابٌ مَعاً

    لكنَّ ذا صَادَ وهذا هَرَبْ

    How often a falcon and a crow have flown together,

    yet one caught prey while the other fled.
