1. Without a mind one is worthless,
Though he may have riches that make him fearless,
١. إِذا لَم يَكُن لِلمَرءِ عَقلٌ فَإِنَّهُ
وَإِن كانَ ذا مالٍ عَلى الناسِ هَيِّنُ
2. But he with a mind is truly blessed,
And the best mind is one seeking nearness to God.
٢. وَإِن كانَ ذا عَقلٍ أُجِلَّ لِعَقلِهِ
وَأَفضَلُ عَقلٍ عَقلُ مَن يَتَدَيَّنُ
