1. تفرّق الناس في إتيان ما جهلوا

    بين التوهّم والتشبيه عن فرَق

    People became divided in approaching what they did not know,

    between conjecture and likening, out of fear.

  2. وأغفلوا طلبَ المقصود مطلبهُ

    بين المحاجر والأجفانِ والحدَق

    And they neglected the quest for their goal, which is to be sought

    between the eye sockets, the eyelids, and the pupils.
