1. أَجَزْتُكَ في فُنُونِ العِلْمِ طُرّاً

    فَأَنْتَ لِذَاكَ عِزَّ الدّينِ أَهْلُ

    I have granted you authorization in all branches of knowledge;

    For you, ʿIzz al-Dīn, are worthy of that:

  2. بِمَسْمُوعي ومَقْرُوئي ومِنْها

    وِجَادَاتِي وذَاكَ هُوَ الأَقَلُّ

    In what I have heard and read—and among these

    Are the writings I found, which form the smallest share;

  3. كَذَلِك ما أَجَازَتْ لي شُيُوخٌ

    لَهُمْ بَيْنَ الوَرَى فَضْلٌ ونُبْلُ

    Likewise, in what teachers have authorized me to transmit,

    Who possess distinction and nobility among humankind.

  4. فَصِلْني بالدُّعاءِ علَى التّنائي

    بَقِيتَ لِكُلِّ مَسْأَلَةٍ تَحُلُّ

    So keep in touch with me through prayer, despite our distance;

    May you live on, solving every question.
