Number 8
Don't be fooled by the words of a greedy flatterer; he has laid a trap of deceit to catch his share of you.
A cruel, ignorant ruler who feeds on the people's blood, how could he become wise and just just because a preacher says so?

مباش غره به گفتار مادح طماع
که دام مکر نهاد از برای صید نصیب
امیر ظالم جاهل که خون خلق خورد
چگونه عالم و عادل شود به قول خطیب
