بَحْثٌ تَجَمَّعَ فيهِ كُلُّ شارِدَةٍ

أَبانَ عَنْ فَضْلِ بَاعٍ غَيْرِ مَفْضُولِ

A research that gathered every scattered piece

Revealed the merit of an unmatched trader

بَحْثٌ يُخَبِّرُ قَبْلَ الخُبْرِ عَنْ صَعبِ ال

أَخْبارِ ما بَيْنَ مَعْلُولٍ ومَقْبُولِ

A research that informs before news of the arduous

Tidings between the accepted and the refused

بَحْثٌ غَدَا عَقْدَ إشْكالِ السؤالِ بِهِ

عَلَى مُرورِ اللّيالِي غَيْرَ مَحْلولِ

A research that became a knot of questioning

Through the passing nights still unresolved

بَحْثٌ يُبَرْهِنُ أَنَّ الفَخْرَ مَفْخَرَةٌ

للدِّينِ في عِلْمِ مَعْقُولٍ ومَنْقولِ

A research that proves pride is a boast

For religion in learned and recited knowledge
