وَعِيُّ الفِعالِ كَعِيِّ المَقالِ

وَعِيُّ الفِعالِ كَعِيِّ المَقالِ

وَفي الصَمتِ عِيٌّ كَعِيِّ الكَلِم

وَفي الصَمتِ عِيٌّ كَعِيِّ الكَلِم

And ineptitude in deeds is like ineptitude in speech;

The doer's mind is like the speaker's tongue

And in silence there is ineptitude like that in words.

And in silence there is hearing like speech
