1. The best gift of God to a man is his reason,
For there is nothing among virtues that equals it.

2. When the Merciful completes a man's reason,
His morals and ways are perfected.

3. The young man lives by reason among people,
His knowledge and experience flow by reason.

4. Whoever prevails by reason and effort,
Prevails in the matter of livelihood.

5. Reason adorns a young man among people
Even if his acquisitions are denied to him.

6. And the lack of reason demeans him among people
Even if his lineage and relations are noble.
