1. Knowledge cannot be attained without learning
And without striving, there is no learning

2. It's said that knowledge gives you some of it
If you give it all, and vice versa you will know

3. From the cradle to the grave, seek it
As it came from those who taught and learned

4. And every young man who does not devote
His lifetime to seeking knowledge, no doubt will be deprived

5. And he who does not dedicate his time and life
To it from his youth until he becomes old

6. Will have no luck with it, nor will he obtain
Knowledge, so seeking knowledge is greatest

7. And I see the new generation and its approach
Is the opposite of this, which I do not understand

8. Am I wrong in what I said, O Sheikh
Or am I right, so you are the judge
