العلم للرحمن جل جلاله

وسواه في جهلاته يتغمغم

Knowledge belongs to the Merciful, exalted be His majesty,

While all others lost in ignorance mutter and mumble.

ما للتراب وللعلوم وإنما

يسعى ليعلم أنه لا يعلم

What is dust to knowledge, though people may try,

Seeking to know that which cannot be fully known.
