Better Yourself!

Abul Aswad Ad-Du’lī [a great Arab poet] said:

O! you who teaches others ∴ Yourself you should teach

To the sick you provide medicine ∴ To treat, yet you are the sick

Indeed, with guidance you heal our souls ∴ But this guidance you never reach

Yourself admonish first ∴ If admonished, you are the wit

Then, your words find access ∴ And benefits sprout from what you preach

Never warn against misdemeanor ∴ But yet you commit

Indeed, Shame on you ∴ And a great discredit
