1. O soul, plunge into the sea of knowledge, or dive deep,
For people are of two kinds: learned or unlearned.
١. يا نَفسُ خوضي بِحارَ العِلمِ أَو غوصي
فَالناسُ ما بَينَ مَعمومٍ وَمَخصوصِ
2. In this world nothing can fully be comprehended
Except by a deficient being in a deficient way.
٢. لا شَيءَ في هَذِهِ الدُنيا يُحاطُ بِهِ
إِلّا إِحاطَةَ مَنقوصٍ بِمَنقوصِ
