Poems in Human Capital

When we explore carefully his poems, there are many poems that suit to the human capital development as a part of nation buliding.
here are some examples :

Faqihan wa-sufiyyan fakun laysa wahidan
fa'inni wa-haqqillahi iyyaka ansahu
Fadhalika qasin lam yadhuq qalbuhu tuqan
wahadha jahulun kayfa dhul-jahli yasluhu


Be both a jurisprudent and a s.ûfî - never just one of the two.
Truly, by the Divine Right, I am advising you sincerely!
For the former is hardened, his heart tastes no Godwariness,
While the latter is ignorant - of what use is the ignorance.


إذَا الْمَرْءُ أَفْشَى سِرِّهُ بِلِسَانِهِ * وَلاَمَ عَلَيْهِ غَيْرَهُ فَهُوَ أَحْمَقُ
إِذَا ضَاقَ صَدْرُ المَرْءِ عَنْ سِرِّ نَفْسِهِ * فَصَدْرُ الَّذِي يُسْتَودْعُ السِّرَّ أَضْيَقُ

If a man spreads his secret with his own tongue
and blames another... then he is a fool.
If his own breast is too narrow to conceal his own secret,
Then the breast of the one in whom he places it is even narrower


Then, al Imam also said as below:


لسانك لا تذكر به عورة امرئ *** فكلّـك عورات وللناس ألسـن

وعينك إن أبدت إليك معايباً *** فدعها وقل : يا عين للناس أعينُ

Let not your tongue mention the shame of another
For you yourself are covered in shame and all men have tongues.
If your eye falls upon the sins of your brother
Shield them and say: "O my eye! All men have eyes!"


لمن نعطي رأينا
ولا تعطين الرأي من لايريده
فلا أنت محمود ولا الرأي نافعه

To the one we give our opinions
And do not give your opinion to one who does not want it
For you are not praiseworthy and the opinion will not benefit him


...and there are many more poems related to develop a good syakhsiah as an insan.
