.

Gurunya guru,

Dibijaksana ilmu,

Berjalan diam,

Merenung dalam.

-

Menjawab tanya dengan tanya,

Menanyakan yang tak biasa ditanyakan,

Tahu kalau dirinya tahu,

Berkata: tak tahu apa-apa.

-

Kebenaran tak usah dibela,

Ia menang sendirinya,

Racun diteguk,

Prinsip dibentuk,

Hidup abadi,

Setelah mati.

(English Version)

"Socrates"
.
.
.

The teacher of teachers,

Wisest science,

Silent running,

Brood in.

-

Answering a question with a question,

Asking unusual asked,

Know if he knows,

Said: do not know anything.

-

Truth does not need to be defended,

He won itself,

Toxins gulp,

The principle was established,

Eternal life,

After death.
