1. ياطالب العلم بادر الورعا

    وهاجر النوم واهجر الشبعا

    O seeker of knowledge, hasten to scrupulous piety.

    And forsake sleep and shun satiety.

  2. يا أيها الناس أنتم عشب

    يحصده الموت كلما طلع

    O people, you are grass;

    Death reaps it whenever it sprouts.

  3. لا يحصد المرء عند فاقته

     إلا الذي في حياته زرعا

    A person reaps nothing in his time of need

    Except what he sowed during his life.
