✧ Hamza with Dad
"اطْلبُوا حَوائِجَكُمْ عِنْدَ حسانِ الوجوهِ، فإِنْ قَضَى حاجَتَكَ قَضَاها بوجْهٍ طليقٍ، وإنْ ردَّك ردك بوجهٍ طليقٍ، فرُبَّ حسن الوجْه ذَمِيُمه عْندَ طلبِ الحاجةِ، وَرُبَّ ذميمِ الوَجْه حَسنُهُ عْندَ طلبِ الحاجةِ".

Machine translation, not reviewed
"Seek your needs with those having pleasant faces, for if he grants your need, he grants it with a cheerful face, and if he refuses you, he refuses with a cheerful face. For a person of handsome face may be ugly when a need is sought, and a person of ugly face may be handsome when a need is sought."
