Foreboding Fouls
A limb outstretched its limits, From an eternal tomb. A sadistic wind commits, Showcasing a fowl's anus by blowing its plume. A wall with pinna catches some utterances, So close and near to perceive your word fragrances. An open mouth passes all flies, And words spoken attract many lies. You fear to be bitten by the hidden snake you keep; Don't betray the trust that will make others weep. Don't leak it out, even if it's shrimp; It can make you valueless, and your esteem will turn to skimp. Be your brother's keeper, and guard the trust with care, For a trustworthy person, confidentiality is rare. What an Amanah (امنة) for a trustworthy person! Don't unleash it; it's forbidden poison, To the hearers and the speaker.
