وَإِنَّما العِلمُ مِن قِياسٍ

وَإِنَّما العِلمُ مِن قِياسٍ

وَمِن عِيانٍ وَمِن سَماعِ

وَمِن عِيانٍ وَمِن سَماعِ

And knowledge comes only from reasoning by analogy,

Knowledge comes from inference, evidence and report

and from direct observation and from hearing.

And he who hides a matter cannot evade

وَالكاتِمُ الأَمرَ لَيسَ يَخفى

وَالكاتِمُ الأَمرَ لَيسَ يَخفى

كَالمَوقِدِ النارِ بِاليَفاعِ

كَالمَوقِدِ النارِ بِاليَفاعِ

And one who conceals a matter does not go unnoticed,

Like fire glowing amidst the brushwood

like one who lights a fire on high ground.
