وَمَنْ يَغْتَرِبْ يَحْسَبْ عَدُوًّا صَدِيقَهُ ۞ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُكَرِّمْ نَفْسَهُ لَمْ يُكَرَّمِ
A person living far from familiar society may mistake an enemy for a friend; whoever fails to honor himself will not be honored by others.
Yaghtarib, from Form VIII, describes becoming a stranger or living away from familiar surroundings. The first hemistich concerns the difficulty of judging people without established social knowledge. In the second, the contrast yukarrim / yukarram moves from active self-respect to the passive reception of honor from others.
