1. ألاَ إِنَّ عَبدَ الحَيّ في العِلمِ فَائِقُ

    وَما ذَاقَهُ مَا ذَاقَهُ قَطُّ ذَائِقُ

    Behold, Abd al-Hayy is indeed preeminent in knowledge.

    And what he has tasted, no taster has ever tasted.

  2. فَتى كَسرت شَمسُ المَعَارِفِ لُبَّه

    وذَلِكَ في بَعضِ بالخَلاَئِقِ لاَئِقُ

    A youth whose intellect the sun of knowledge has shattered;

    And that is fitting for some among creation.

  3. فَلاَ تَحسِبَنَّه قَد أُصِيبَ بِجُنَّةٍ

    فَذِلكَ فِيهِ الدَّاهِمَاتُ البَوَائِقُ

    So never think that he has been afflicted with madness;

    For in that lie overwhelming, ruinous calamities.
