Words Of Hikmah Poem by Mohammad Younus

The words of Hikmah¹ -
The precious pearls,
In the oyster shells!
Howsoever intelligent you might be,
Seek the wise,
The mines of rubies!
The more you collect, the more you need;
The more you give out,
The more your treasure shall increase;
The more you brag and talk about...
...your knowledge...
...the less you will understand;
Practice the words of hikmah,
That you learn -
More will you profit
