من لم يضف للعلم علما زائدا

في كل يوم فهو في نقصان

Whoever does not add to knowledge an extra knowledge

Whoever does not add an increase to his knowledge,

Every day, he is in decline

Is, with every passing day, in a state of decline.

من لم يكن للإختبار محضرا

ومراجعا بشره بالخسران

Whoever is not prepared for the test

Whoever is not prepared for the examination,

And reviewing, let him be forewarned of loss

Nor diligent in review—give him the tidings of loss.
