العِلمُ مِن فَضلِهِ لِمَن خَدَمَهُ

أَن يَجعَلَ الناسَ كُلَّهُم خَدَمَه

Knowledge, by its virtue, makes all people its servants

It is right to protect it as one protects his honor and life

فَواجِبٌ صَونَهُ عَلَيهِ كَما

يَصونُ في الناسِ عِرضَهُ وَدَمَه

Whoever possesses knowledge but entrusts it

To the ignorant betrays it unjustly

فَمَن حَوى العِلمَ ثُمَّ أَودَعَهُ

بِجَهلِهِ غَيرَ أَهلِهِ ظَلَمَه
