This is our translation of the famous poem by Persian poet Ibn Yamin –
Who knows, and knows that he knows,
He shall deploy reason to rise up to the vault of heavens.
Who knows, and does not know that he knows,
Make him aware, so he will not go on in oblivion.
Who does not know, yet knows that he does not know,
He will make it to the destination, even if his mount is lame.
Who does not know, and does not know that he does not know,
He will remain mired forever in the most convoluted ignorance.
