"He tells more falsehoods, all in all....


أنم من المرآة في كـل مـا درى
وأقطع بين الناس من قصب الهند
أظن المنايا والزمان تـعـلـمـا
تحليله بالقطـع بـين ذوي الـود

"He tells more falsehoods, all in all,
Than mirror, mirror on the wall:
He strikes more swiftly friends apart
Than Indian sabres split the heart".

"I think that Fate and sundering Time
Are his disciples in the crime
All practise to one common end
Of separating friend from friend".


~ Ibn Hazm ~
