عداوَةَ كُفرانِ الصّنائعِ للشُّكْرِ
We have a companion who harbors toward the sciences and their practitioners
We have a friend who purifies knowledge and its people
the pure enmity that ingratitude for favors bears toward gratitude.
From the enmity of ingratitude for skills

يُقطِّبُ إنْ سمّيتَ قُطباً ومِحوَراً
ويقطُرُand he drips خَلاًّvinegar حينwhen يلفظُhe utters بالقَطْرِthe word “diameter”
ويقطُرُ خَلاًّ حين يلفظُ بالقَطْرِ
He scowls if you mention a pole and an axis,
He frowns if you name him an axis and pivot
and drips vinegar when he utters the word “diameter.”
And drips vinegar when he utters “drops”
