1. يا نَفسُ خوضي بِحارَ العِلمِ أَو غوصي

    فَالناسُ ما بَينَ مَعمومٍ وَمَخصوصِ

    O soul, wade into the seas of knowledge, or dive.

    For people range between the common and the distinguished.

  2. لا شَيءَ في هَذِهِ الدُنيا يُحاطُ بِهِ

    إِلّا إِحاطَةَ مَنقوصٍ بِمَنقوصِ

    Nothing in this world is fully comprehended

    Except through an imperfect one's grasp of something imperfect.
