1. أَفِتيانَ قَومِي وَجِّهُوا الهَمَّ كُلَّهُ

    إِلى العِلمِ مَعمُولاً بِهِ وَذَرُوا الكَسَل

    O young men of my people, direct all your resolve

    Toward knowledge put into practice, and abandon idleness.

  2. فَمَا العِزُّ في الدَارَينِ إِلا مَدِينَةٌ

    مُشَيَّدَةُ الأَركانِ بالعِلمِ وَالعَمَل

    For glory in both worlds is but a city

    With pillars firmly built through knowledge and action.
