1. ما لاِبنِ خلدونَ لَعمري ثانِ

    في كشفهِ لِطبيعةِ العمرانِ

    By my life, Ibn Khaldun has no equal

    in his unveiling of the nature of civilization.

  2. قَتلَ الوَرى علماً وخلّدَ ذكرهُ

    فَحياتهُ وَمَماتهُ سيّانِ

    He vanquished humankind in learning and immortalized his memory;

    thus his life and his death are alike.

  3. يُدعى اِبنَ خلدونٍ لسرٍّ كامنٍ

    وَهوَ الخلودُ عَلى مَدى الأزمانِ

    He is called Ibn Khaldun for a hidden reason:

    and that is immortality throughout the ages.
