1. With knowledge does the youth ascend to the heights of honor,
Not with wealth, luxury, and indulgence.

2. In the seashells are pride and radiance,
Derived from the jewels within the shell.

3. No palm tree is honored when fruitless,
Unless when laden, ready for plucking.

4. He is the precious one whom the souls
Of the noble were enamored with passionately.

5. They loved his beauty and radiance,
The love of exquisite beauty and splendor.

6. Ignorance is bitter, its spring repulsive,
While knowledge is sweet to the taster.

7. Knowledge is the dawn, and ignorance the gloom of night,
Where does the glow of morn meet the darkness?

8. He who failed to gain knowledge in his youth
Deserves perpetual sorrow and regret.
