الحض على الترحال ما في المقام لذي عقلٍ وذي أدبٍ----------من راحة فدع الأوطان واغترب سافر تجد عوضاً عمن تفارقه----------وانصب فإن لذيذ العيش في النصب إني رأيت وقوف الماء يفسده----------إن ساح طاب وإن لم يجر لم يطب والأسد لولا فراق الأرض ما افترست----------والسهم لولا فراق القوس لم يصب والشمس لو وقفت في الفلك دائمة ً----------لملها الناس من عجم ومن عرب والتبر كالترب ملقي في أماكنه----------والعود في أرضه نوع من الخطب فإن تغرب هذا عز مطلبه----------وإن تغرب ذلك عز كالذهب
There is no peace of mind for the one with intellect and sophistication in remaining stationary -
so leave homelands and and go to foreign fields,Travel! You will find a replacement for what you have left.
Crash out! The sweetness of life is in crashing out,I have seen that standing water stagnates, if it flows it nourishes, and if it doesn't run, it doesn't nourish,
If the lion doesn't leave his den he can't hunt, and if the arrow doesn't leave the bow it won't strike,
If the sun stood still in its course then people, Arab and non-Arab, would become bored,
Gold dust is as the earth thrown in its places, and oud is a type of firewood in its ground,If one travels this, his ambition is honoured. If one travels this, he is honoured like gold.

.Imam al-Shafi'i is said to have said, "I love the pious even though I am not from them" in accordance to the hadeeth that we are resurrected with those whom we love.
O Allah we are not from the pious but we love Imam al-Shafi'i so resurrect us with him in the companion of the Prophets, truthful, matyrs and pious!
