1. دع المنجمَ يكبو في ضلالته

    إن ادعى علمَ ما يجري به الفلكُ

    Leave the astrologer to stumble in his error,

    If he claims knowledge of what the celestial sphere brings to pass.

  2. تفرَّد اللهُ بالعلم القديم فلا

    الإنسان يشركهُ فيه ولا الملك

    God alone possesses eternal knowledge; neither

    Man nor angel shares it with Him.

  3. أعدَّ للرزق من أشراكه شركاً

    فبئست العدتان الشِّركُ والشَّرَك

    From his snares he has prepared a trap to earn his living;

    So wretched are the two means: associating partners with God and the snare.
