1. زينَةُ الفَقرِ في العَفافِ وَحَقُّ العِلمِ

    تَعليمُ طالِبٍ مُستَحَقِّ

    Poverty's adornment lies in self-restraint, and knowledge's due

    Is to teach a worthy seeker.

  2. وَسَبيلُ النَجاةِ صَعبٌ وَلا

    يُبلَغُ إِلّا بِحَملِ صَعبٍ مُشَقِّ

    And the path to salvation is hard, and cannot

    Be reached except by bearing grueling hardship.
