ما العَقلُ إِلّا زينَةٌ

ما العَقلُ إِلّا زينَةٌ

سُبحانَ مَن أَخلاكَ مِنهُ

سُبحانَ مَن أَخلاكَ مِنهُ

Reason is but an adornment.

Glory be to Him who left you without it!

قُسِمَت عَلى الناسِ العُقو

قُسِمَت عَلى الناسِ العُقو

لُ وَكانَ أَمراً غِبتَ عَنهُ

لُ وَكانَ أَمراً غِبتَ عَنهُ

Intellects were apportioned among the people,

and that was an occasion you were absent from.
