عِلْمُ الفَتَى إنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ ذَا وَرَعِ
كَمِثْلِ مِصْباحٍ بِكَفِّ مَنْ عَمِي
The young man's knowledge, if he is not pious,
Is like a lamp in the hand of one who is blind.
وَوَرَعُ الْمَرْءِ بِدُونِ عِلْمِ
كالسَّعْي في الأَرْضِ بِجُنْحِ الظُّلَمِ
And a person's piety without knowledge
Is like walking the earth under the cover of darkness.
Sol 6.1
