1. Turn from blaming a people whom you do not know
Unless the veil over what is hidden is lifted from their fault
١. دَع عَنكَ مِن لَومِ قَومٍ لَستَ تَخبُرُهُم
إِلّا تَكَشَّفَ سِترُ الغَيبِ عَن عَيبِ
2. They are bent over by time, awry, except they
Are blackened by ignorance, whitened by old age
٢. عوجٌ عَلى الدَهرِ هوجٌ غَيرَ أَنَّهُمُ
سودٌ مِنَ الجَهلِ بيضانٌ مِنَ الشَيبِ
