وَإِنَّما العِلمُ مِن قِياسٍ
وَمِن عِيانٍ وَمِن سَماعِ
Knowledge comes from inference, evidence and report
And he who hides a matter cannot evade
وَالكاتِمُ الأَمرَ لَيسَ يَخفى
كَالمَوقِدِ النارِ بِاليَفاعِ
Like fire glowing amidst the brushwood
وَإِنَّما العِلمُ مِن قِياسٍ
وَمِن عِيانٍ وَمِن سَماعِ
Knowledge comes from inference, evidence and report
And he who hides a matter cannot evade
وَالكاتِمُ الأَمرَ لَيسَ يَخفى
كَالمَوقِدِ النارِ بِاليَفاعِ
Like fire glowing amidst the brushwood
