Do not ask for what you cannot

               give, and do not give your secret to a fool

And whoever blinds his ears in times of hardship

                beware, no matter how much you need to call him

And with all force, block the wicked

                    as for the generous, a greeting to his virtues

Be humble like sand

                   and be arrogant towards every lost proud one

And in love be like a child

                  for childhood in love raises it

Be keen on what you sell to be

                      good because you will buy it tomorrow

And lying is bad even if its scent is pleasant

          and honesty is salvation even if it is unpleasant

I see paradise in the heart of a forgiving person

           and fire burns within the spiteful

Erase faults and live freely

         God said: whoever forgives, I will choose him

Firas Hamed Shaqir
