1. Examine the new books and begin with their inheritance
And be the guarantor of the souls they contain
١. تَأَمَّلْ جَديدَ الكُتْبِ وابدَأْ بِرَثِّها
وكُنْ ضامناً أرواحَ ما تتضَمَّنُ
2. For how many creations among them have offered wonderful benefit
And for pure gold in the dust a mine
٢. فكَمْ مُخلقٍ منها أفادَ بَديعةً
وللذَّهَبِ الإبريزِ في التُّرْبِ مَعْدِنِ
