In the name of Allah, The Most
Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Two people of
similar backgrounds and ages sit down together for a meal
They have
lived through much of the same but how they are different we will take a moment
to reveal
Considerate,
kind, attentive and concerned is clear in the expression of the one on the
right
Carefree,
expressive, bubbly as the one on the left brings much information to light
Facts and a dispensing
of knowledge is of one who protects his tongue and his honour
A tongue so loose,
letting out information, without checking its copyright, with much vigour
The attentive
man on the right is deemed a freak for, although informed, he holds his mouth
shut
While the
tongue-wagging person on the left is the one where words flow like a glut
Much privacy
for himself and those around him is for the one who guards his tongue
Aware we must
be for dangerous is the one around whose neck one’s reputation is hung
The responsible
person is the one who seeks to speak only with understanding
While
understanding is undermined but the one who always has the urge of speaking
Strong-willed
are both but the one, who remains silent, in no way belittles
While the
need of the other to speak and be dramatic means that every time a tale he tittles
We are but
one of the two people who may yet harm others but what we say
As without
authority we, as is our general practice, present information on a tray
We pronounce
judgement on the lives of others as in every story we contrive a change
The licence
we have given ourselves makes every other story always seem strange
Indeed the
safety on man lies in the guarding of the tongue
While it is
quite the opposite when every bit of information is far flung
I pray that I
am more like the man on the right who will not stand by listening to the one
who gossips
The one on
the left is the one that will present to you, before asking, about someone many
tips
