A grain that weighs down the scale. A friend you love, and you are in need. If you are generous with someone, their true nature will be revealed. Your beloved will offer you gravel, and your enemy will offer you a mistake. Cupping with a knife is better than needing people. A rolling stone must be broken. A clever person does not prevent destiny. A noble person does not steal. A clever thief does not steal from his own neighborhood. A thief has a feather on his head. A thief only comes with deceit. The wolf's prey on the sheep. A sad person has no home. "Love me and take a cloak and oil." A sad person, kings and the rich are not with him. Khartoum. A sad person, Ain Daral bought a mirror for two dirhams. We accounted for the snake and the scorpion, but not for what was on our minds. We stayed in the desert, men. Envy is a disease that does not heal. Beauty and wealth are fleeting. Intellect and modesty are the news of the righteous. The grass is watered. Put two men in a vehicle. Put your money in a shop and buy. If there is good, it will not be lost. The sons of the Metarok. And say that time has passed.
