إِذا أَنتَ لَم يَنفَعكَ عِلمُكَ لَم تَجِد

لِعِلمِكَ مَخلوقاً مِنَ الناسِ يَقبَلُه

If your knowledge does not benefit you, you will not find

Among people anyone who accepts your knowledge.

وَإِن زانَكَ العِلمُ الَّذي قَد حَمَلتَهُ

وَجَدتَ لَهُ مَن يَجتَنيهِ وَيَحمِلُه

And if the knowledge you carry adorns you,

You will find those who pick it and carry it.
