1. The religion of one devout in God, beseeching
And count away from the secret of a banner then treasured
١. دِن دينَ مُعتَمِلٍ في اللَهِ مُبتَهِلٍ
وَعَدِّ عَن سِرِّ عَلَمٍ ثُمَّ مُختَزَنِ
2. And do not stand by the length of books asking them
For you will not obtain but worry and grief
٢. وَلا تَقِف بِطِوالِ الكُتبِ تَسأَلُها
فَلَستَ تَحظى بِغَيرِ الهَمِّ وَالحَزَنِ
3. And be when the spears meet lowly
For perhaps the chest of the diligent piercer may gush
٣. وَكُن إِذا اِلتَقَتِ الأَرماحُ سافِلَةً
فَرُبَّما اِندَقَّ صَدرُ العامِلِ اليَزني
