1. The ears of those whom you called, O Amr, have been shut
And deafened at the edge of sincere advice they are deafened

2. By your life, there is none with distress in the caravan, nor
Is there in this district anyone to whom my she-camel is driven

3. So oh prolonged vociferation, is there anyone assisting
And oh prolonged journeying between the wilderness

4. Thus I did not see except one being frank in stupidity
Wandering with it or one being silent in piety

5. This one sees the paths of righteousness before him
So he strives to correct a sickly self

6. And that one knows the obvious and is knowledgeable
But does not buy it for a trifle

7. So who is for you like the angel driving his soul
With which he arrives wherever the truth has arrived

8. Emigrating in the love of the fine one his inclination
And cuts in it the rope of every connection

9. And distances if the near one desires his separation
And comes close if the tongues of justice have erred

10. And wears for rebuke an impenetrable coat of mail
And removes from his shoulders the garb of popularity

11. And casts hopes without twisting
Upon what makes it deviate from the rank of glory

12. He roams the abodes of life at every moment
And descends in its corners equally

13. He unloads at the abode of ignorance his belongings
In the morning and comes to his abode at night

14. He determines a resolve like a sharp sword and an ambition
For the length of time not pleased for it with disgrace

15. Until he sees the dawn from the paths of guidance
And every darkness vanishes from the caller of desires

16. So he throws down the staff of traveling from the shoulder of youth
And praises what he encountered with it of hardship

17. And relishes what the love of passions made him taste
And thanks his bitterness for eternity

18. So every harm in the side of glory is slight
And every defect in its affair is naught but regret

19. So you are not the son of a freeman if you fear
Cultivating highness which fortunes precluded

20. And you are not from the authentic Arabs, whose carpenter
If you do not gain in glory the most profitable deal

21. Does the glorious one accept giving the lowly
And make it one day in place of the lofty?

22. And does he accept from the drink of youth a sip
While the oppressor has grayed with sediment and turbidity?

23. And is he satisfied with imitating men declaring
The facilitation of a path for lowness to be blocked?

24. And the door of truth is not blocked from the seeker of guidance
But the bleary eye of the blind one is blocked

25. Men like bats whose glow
Appears amid darkness and are blinded at daybreak

26. It roams with it wherever there is a direction
So if the sun of daytime rises, it disappears

27. And does the diminishing of the aspirations
Of one afflicted by animosity diminish the beauty?

28. And did the status of the full moon decrease when it rose
If dogs denied it and fled?

29. And the sea is not harmed if a fool stands
On its shore throwing pebbles into it

30. So delve into the seas of diligence and count away
From men whose teeth fell out due to senility

31. A yearning inclines to the caller of prejudice
And if one day he calls it to moderation, it flees

32. If a man inclines to it courteously
It leans toward imitation and is devoted

33. And if you try to release the shackles from it, it refuses
And says leave me in captivity and my familiarity

34. For my eyes are blind to the paths of righteousness
And my ears to the caller of advice are deaf

35. And bring the talk of the sheikh, I do not listen
To other than it, and leave me from the Qur’an and Sunnah

36. For our leading sheikhs in every goal
And our ancestors are the lords of every faction

37. So there is no saying but what the passionate states
And no opinion but what the glorious one flashes

38. And leave you knowledge whose spout does not shake
As it is said except the group of presumptuousness

39. So this is the answer of the mute, O Amr, if the caller
To the paths of guidance, the experienced caller, calls

40. So take the initiative to cast off the necklace hastily
For satisfaction with captivity is greatest disgrace

41. And if you are a penetrating arrow, perceptive
Then leave what an eye has become blind to

42. For neither did a transmitting with shortness come to us
Nor did a judgment for sound minds come with that

43. And the overflowing of the blessings of God on mankind
Those who passed, it is overflowing upon them in wisdom

44. And be not obedient, submissive to an obstinate one
By this you become similar to an animal

45. So this is the unhealable disease which has coursed
Through this land, rather the origin of every affliction

46. For there is no good in knowledge which misguides from guidance
And pulls its people to partisanship

47. And in ignorance of some knowledges there is comfort
If it does not lead its lords to half-truth
