1. O friend, beware of listening to it
For in Islamic law there is disagreement about it

2. It leads one astray so look to where it leads
Does it lead to Allah or to self-absorption?

3. The substitutes resemble each other yet you are idle
And devoid of spiritual states that come

4. Listen to what al-Junayd said
Nothing enters it if one accustoms himself to it

5. Beware, beware of following your whims
Reject them and follow what conforms to Islamic law

6. Islamic law is the foundation and spiritual path the branch
Be a follower of its command, avoiding prohibitions

7. Be extremely eager to perform acts of obedience
Religion is not loud dancing and chanting

8. You think it pride yet its essence is deficiency
If you were asked about the state, you would not know

9. Religion is your mindfulness every moment
Then following the way of the community

10. The Law of the Chosen One and following him
Muhammad, no messenger comes close to him
