وَمَا زِلْتُ أَبْغِي العِلْمَ مِنْ حَيْثُ يُبْتَغَى

وَأَفْتَنُّ فِي أَصْنَافِهِ وَتَطَرُّفِهْ

I still seek knowledge wherever it is found

And revel in its branches and extremes.

فَقَدْ صِرْتُ لا أَلْقَى الَّذِي اسْتَزِيْدُهُ

وَلاَ يُذْكَرُ الشَّيءُ الَّذِي لَسْتُ أَعْرِفُهْ

I have now reached where nothing I request

Remains of things not known that I may glean.
