1. Knowledge belongs to the Merciful, exalted be His majesty,
While all others lost in ignorance mutter and mumble.
١. العلم للرحمن جل جلاله
وسواه في جهلاته يتغمغم
2. What is dust to knowledge, though people may try,
Seeking to know that which cannot be fully known.
٢. ما للتراب وللعلوم وإنما
يسعى ليعلم أنه لا يعلم
