خُذوا في سَبيلِ العَقلِ تُهدَوا بِهَديِهِ

وَلا يَرجونَ غَيرَ المُهَيمِنِ راجِ

Take the path of reason, you will be guided by its guidance

And do not hope for anything but the Almighty as refuge

وَلا تُطفِئوا نورَ المَليكِ فَإِنَّهُ

مُمَتِّعُ كُلٍّ مِن حِجىً بِسِراجِ

And do not extinguish the light of the angels for it

Brings joy to each one in the dark with a lamp

أَرى الناسَ في مَجهولَةٍ كَبَرا

ءُهُمُ حَيٍّ يَلعَبونَ خُراجِ

I see the people lost in great ignorance

While they are alive, they play with nonsense
