Now, O wise one, describe wisdom's worth

For here, speaking of it is of true value

Now, bring forth what wisdom you possess

That the listener’s ears may delight in it

Wisdom is better than all God has given

Praising wisdom surpasses any just path

Wisdom is a guide and a heart-opener

Wisdom supports you in both worlds

From it comes joy, and from it comes sorrow

From it comes abundance, and from it comes lack

A darkened wisdom and an enlightened soul

Cannot coexist joyfully even for a moment

What did that wise man of wisdom say

That the knowledgeable one learned from his words?

He who has no wisdom guiding him

His heart will ache from his own actions

The wise will call him insane

Even his own kin will see him as a stranger

Through wisdom, one gains honor in both worlds

Without wisdom, one's feet remain shackled

Wisdom is the eye of the soul when you observe

Without eyes, you cannot joyfully pass through life

First, recognize wisdom as the creation

It safeguards the soul and the three sentinels

The three sentinels are your eyes, ears, and tongue

From these three come good and evil, undoubtedly

Who can truly praise wisdom and the soul?

And if I praise, who would listen to my words?

O wise one, if no one exists, what use is speech?

Now, tell me what the creation was

You are the creation of the world's Creator

You see both the visible and the hidden

Seek the path through the words of the wise

Travel the world and tell everyone

Whenever you hear words of knowledge

Do not stop learning, even for a moment

When you find vision through the branches of speech

You realize that knowledge has no final root
