Arabic original, Mutūn al-manṭiq wa-l-ḥikma: Īsāghūjī wa-l-Sullam al-munawraq, Jakarta 1434/2013

الْعَكْسُ قَلْبُ جُزْأَيِ الْقَضِيَّهْمَعَ بَقَاءِ الصِّدْقِ وَالْكَيْفِيَّهْ

وَالْكَمِّ إِلَّا الْمُوجَبَ الْكُلِّيَّهْفَعَوْضُهَا الْمُوجَبَةُ الْجُزْئِيَّهْ

وَالْعَكْسُ لَازِمٌ لِغَيْرِ مَا وُجِدْبِهِ اجْتِمَاعُ الْخِسَّتَيْنِ فَاقْتَصِدْ

Conversion is turning round the two parts of the proposition, while truth, quality and quantity remain — except the universal affirmative, whose replacement is the particular affirmative. Conversion holds for all but those in which the two weaknesses meet, so be moderate;

Google Translate ↗p. 26

وَمِثْلُهَا الْمُهْمَلَةُ السَّلْبِيَّهْلِأَنَّهَا فِي قُوَّةِ الْجُزْئِيَّهْ

وَالْعَكْسُ فِي مُرَتَّبٍ بِالطَّبْعِوَلَيْسَ فِي مُرَتَّبٍ بِالْوَضْعِ

and like it is the neglected negative, because it has the force of the particular. Conversion is in what is ordered by nature, not in what is ordered by convention.
