1. O friend, if you cast aside right guidance
And stray from the straight and virtuous path

2. Take comfort in the eminent Al-Rifa'i
For Al-Rifa'i deserves that

3. His proofs be woven with diamonds
His chapters like flowers in their weaving

4. Appear as strands of pearls in their threading
And if you think on their crafting

5. His signs defy comprehension
In the realm of mystic knowledge, he has no peers
