1. O you who made knowledge his prey
To hunt the money of the poor

2. You occupied the world and its pleasures
With a trick that takes away religion

3. So you became insane with it after
You were a cure for the insane

4. Where are your stories of the past
About Ibn Awn and Ibn Sirin

5. And your teaching of knowledge through its effects
In leaving off Al-Sulaytin

6. You say you hated it so what is that
The donkey of knowledge fell in the mud

7. Do not sell religion for the world as
The misguided extremists do
