يَتَأَمَّلُ

he meditates

فِي

upon

هَذِهِ

these

الْعُلُومِ

sciences

الْخَمْسَةِ

five

الَّتِي

sciences

بِمَعَانِيهَا

with their meanings

وَمَطَالِبِهَا

and their demands

in

وَجْهٍ

a manner

لَا

يُتَصَوَّرُ

فَإِنَّ

indeed

الشَّمْسَ

the sun

السَّاطِعَةَ

radiant

دَلِيلٌ

is a proof

from

نَفْسِهَا

itself

عَلَى

for

نَفْسِهَا

itself,

the radiant sun is a proof from itself for itself,

فَإِذَا

in

حَاجَةٍ

need

الدَّلِيلِ

the proof

so if you are in need of the proof

فَلَا

then do not

تَشِحْ

turn away

بِوَجْهِكَ

with your face

عَنْهَا

from it.

then do not turn your face away from it.
