O seeker of knowledge and its fruits everlasting

يا لجة علما وديمة نائل

1. O seeker of knowledge and its fruits everlasting
Both gifts of the Most High whom grace envelops

١. يَا لُجَّةً عِلْماً وَدِيمَةَ نَائِلِ
كِلْتَاهُمَا مَدَدُ الْعُلاَ قَدْ عَلَّهَا

2. One He has exalted, made overflow and distinguished
The other He has guided, granted success and empowered

٢. فَأَطَمَّ ذِي وَأَفَاضَهَا وَأَجَلَّهَا
وَأَصَبَّ ذِي وَأَدَرَّهَا وَأَهَلَّهَا

3. So they met and contended in seeking
While both drew fully of praises abounding

٣. فَتَلاَقَتَا فَتَبَارَتَا فِي نَائِلٍ
وَالْكُلُّ يَغْتَرِفُ الْمَحَامِدَ كُلَّهَا

4. Equal they became in their share for neither
Found in full its fortunes or sum of them rounding

٤. فَتَسَاوَتَا فِي قِسْمِهَا إِذْ لَمْ تَجِدْ
كُلٌّ جَمِيعَ حُظُوظِهِ أَوْ جُلَّهَا

5. So submit to the relief of afflictions
By which the youth is wearied of life and its pounding

٥. فَاسْلَمْ لِتَفْرِيجِ الْمُلِمَّاتِ التِي
مِنْهَا الْفَتَى سَئِمَ الْحَيَاةَ وَمَلَّهَا

6. And live forever, for the like of you lives forever
As does the owner of glory and its wielding astounding

٦. وَاخْلُدْ وَمِثْلُكَ وَهْوَ أَنْتَ مُخَلَّدٌ
وَكَذَاكَ مَنْ مَلَكَ الْعُلاَ وَأَقَلَّهَا
