عَلِّمْتُ تَيساً فَلَمْ يع

دُدْ ذلك التَّفهيما

I taught a goat, but that didn't help

And my star became obscurity

وصارَ بالجَديِ نجمي

وما عَرَفْتُ النُّجوما

And I didn't know the stars

And the goat is more guided than

والتّيسُ أَرشَدُ مِمّنْ

لا يَقْبَلُ التّعليما

One who doesn't accept teaching
