Okay, here are my interpretations:
"The House-roof fights with the rain, but he who is sheltered ignores it. "
Refers to not being aware of one's advantages or blessings, once you obtain "shelter" you don't think of it anymore. You cease of needing it.

To love the king is not bad, but a king who loves you is better.
Means that the powerful are to be respected, this is to their benefit, but if the powerful turn their attention to you, you are also benefitted.

Allah does not destroy the men whom one hates.
Allah does not hate anyone, he loves us all. Hate is a human emotion, He's above it.

He is a fool whose sheep runs away twice.
Another wording for: do not trip twice over the same stone.
