Those who have as many noses in their face as the potter's kiln has utensils, (i.e. they have no scintillation of shame or chance of return to righteousness). Such callous persons would not mind any reproach, reproof or chastisement for their misdeeds. (Like Abu-Jahal) they refuse to repent or reform. On the other hand there are persons, who inspite of their relative poverty, worthily hold high their standard of uprightness and character (like the companions of the Prophet).
True believers are only those whose hearts tremble when the name of Allah is mentioned....(2, Al-Anfal).

Those in whose faces are noses made by kiths,
What difference to them is it if one nose is cut?
Those who in poverty their honour retain, even in adversity are distinguished.

Those who have too many faces,
No sooner they loose one, they wear another,
Their poverty is virtue, who hold dear their honour.
