1. Religion is not by outward show,
So wake, O sleeper of sorrow!

2. O ignorant heart empty of wisdom -
After this day for you is toil.

3. I lived in doubt and suspicion,
Drowning in the mud of hope.

4. You know not of death, nor of
What the appointed time will bring.

5. And what comes after death is -
Horror, dread, and trembling.

6. The grave will confine you and test you -
Darkness will cover you like shade.

7. The two angels will question you -
With them strays the one who enters.

8. And when a man is asked about
His knowledge, words, and deeds,

9. On the day all creation rises
For God, the Best Guardian -

10. He will reward them for their acts
Done secretly or openly.

11. So the wrongdoer, the misguided, the arrogant -
Their recompense is destruction.

12. Nothing awaits them but the Fire,
In torment that knows no end.

13. While the reward of the reverent,
The righteous, and good of deeds -

14. Is Paradise of Immortality,
In lasting bliss and shade.

15. There he looks upon the Merciful,
And dwells with the Seal of Messengers -

16. Ahmad the Chosen, our Intercessor,
And the Prince of Believers, Ali.
