العلم·7 verses

لا أوجه علمي إلى ذوي الجهل

أأنثر درا بين سارحة البهموأنظم منثورا لراعية الغنم
لعمري لئن ضيعت في شر بلدةفلست مضيعا فيهم غرر الكلم
سأكتم علمي عن ذوي الجهل طاقتيولا أنثر الدر النفيس على الغنم
لئن سهل الله العزيز بلطفهوصادفت أهلا للعلوم وللحكم
بثثت مفيدا واستفدت ودادهموإلا فمخزون لدي ومكتتم
ومن منح الجهال علما أضاعهومن منع المستوجبين فقد ظلم
وكاتم علم الدين عمن يريدهيبوء بإثم زاد وأثم إذا كتم
