يَحيَى حَفيدُ علومٍ

مَن فَهمُهُ صارَ وَحيا

Yaḥyá the grandson of knowledge

He who understands it becomes alive

وَالعِلمُ فيهِ حَياةٌ

يَرتاحُ مَن فيهِ يَعيا

And knowledge in it is life

He who lives in it rests

وَالعَصرُ يَحيا بِعلمٍ

وعالِمُ العَصرِ يحيى

And the age lives by knowledge

And the scholar of the age lives
