    ما كل من يبغي المعارف مرشَدُ

  3. ما كل من يَروي العفاف مصدَّقٌ

    ما كل من طلب الزهادة يزهد

    Not everyone who speaks of chastity is believed.

    Not everyone who has sought asceticism renounces the world.

  4. ما كل من شاء الصعود بسلم ال

    خيرات للملكوت يوماً يصعد

    Not everyone who wishes to ascend by the ladder of

    good deeds will one day rise to the Kingdom,

  5. إن لم تلاحظه بذلك نعمة ال

    توفيق من لدن الإله فيسعد

    success from God, and so attains bliss.
