And from his love and nearness I find solace and comfort.

Pure of voice, far from discord.

Swaying gently when the morning breeze blows.

Never wavering however far our lives flow.

His claim has no truth, this I know.

The wise see true love wherever it grows.

Truly spoken, if what's told of him is so.

Walk the path of piety, virtue wherever you go."

That path leads safely however far you go.

Follow its guidance and you shall reap what you sow.

From greed comes only bitterest woe."

Provisions for the next life are all you should sow.

Be true in your secret soul, wherever you go.

15. Bless the Prophet and Guide Muhammad for showing the way,
Blessings on him forever, while stars in night's mantle glow."
