do not be more unlucky for yourself than khutaah 6 and more unlucky for your family than basus 7 and more unlucky for your people than the perfume of mansham 8. and whoever lets desires rule his wealth and lets passion rule his own affairs and remains helpless let him blame no one but himself. and blessed will you be on the day when you are able to stand on a path that benefits from it. and one of the poets said
ولا تكن على نفسك أشأم من خوتعة ٦ ، وعلى أهلك أشأم من البسوس ٧ ، وعلى قومك أشأم من عطر منشم ٨ . ومن سلط الشهوات على ماله، وحكم الهوى في ذات يده، فبقي حسيرا، فلا يلومن إلا نفسه. وطوبى لك يوم تقدر على قدم تنتفع به. وقال بعض الشعراء
