1. يا سائِلي ما الرَأيُ إِسمَع وَصفَهُ

    مِن مُرهَفِ العَزَماتِ وَالآراءِ

    O you who ask me what judgment is, hear its description

    From one whose resolves and opinions are finely honed.

  2. الرَأيُ عِندي قُوَّةٌ عَقلِيَّةٌ

    في المَرءِ تُرشِدُهُ إِلى الأَشياءِ

    Judgment, in my view, is a mental faculty

    Within a person, guiding him to things.
