1. O questioner, listen as I describe my view,
From one whose determinations and opinions are sound.
١. يا سائِلي ما الرَأيُ إِسمَع وَصفَهُ
مِن مُرهَفِ العَزَماتِ وَالآراءِ
2. My view is to me a mental power,
Within a person, guiding him to matters.
٢. الرَأيُ عِندي قُوَّةٌ عَقلِيَّةٌ
في المَرءِ تُرشِدُهُ إِلى الأَشياءِ
