1. من لم تودبه دنياه بعبرتها

    لم ينتفع بعبارات من الأدب

    Whoever is not schooled by his worldly life through its lesson

    gains no benefit from the words of literature.

  2. ومن نبا سمعه عن وعظ تجربه

    لم يرشد القلب منه واعظ الكتقب

    And whoever's hearing shuns the counsel of his experience,

    no preacher of books will guide the heart within him.
