1. مَا يَكْسِرُ الدَّفْتَرَ إِلاَّ الَّذِي

    يَرْغَبُ فِي قِيْمَةِ أَوْرَاقِهِ

    No one breaks up a volume except one who

    desires the price of its leaves,

  2. أَوْ عَاجِزٌ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ نَسْخَهُ

    فَضَاقَ عَنْ أُجْرَةِ وَرَّاقِهِ

    or a helpless man who could not copy it

    and could not afford his copyist’s fee.
