Wise, acquire divine knowledge;
Do not delay, for time once lost, ne'er returns;
Until your heart be filled with wisdom true,
And knowledge divine, life's purpose remains
Unseen; seek One from Allah, who imparts
Spiritual knowledge, as your guiding light;
He shall lift your heart to golden heights;
O son of man, seek knowledge, for it's said:
Only those with knowledge among His slaves
Do truly fear Allah; so pray to Him:
My Lord, increase me in knowledge and wisdom!
Then shall you know the secrets most sublime.
