إِنَّ التّغابي في اللَّبيبِ فَطانةٌ

وَأَخو التَّغابي لَم يذلَّ ويرفعُ

Ingenuity in the sensible is wisdom

And the brother of ingenuity was not humiliated and exalted

إِنَّ الغَباوةَ لم تَكن بمضرةٍ

إِنّ الغباوةَ لم تضرَّ وتنفعُ

Indeed foolishness was not harmful

Indeed foolishness did not harm and benefit
