1. Do not let your heart persist in ignorance
Nor in that for which you are to be blamed

2. It wanders aimlessly, unable to see
A path to what it seeks

3. As if before him was never a lover
When people have loved before

4. Some whom love has destroyed
Others who were healed by killing it

5. So after youth comes wisdom
And justice falls short of justice

6. Do not do what you blame your brother for
Nor let a man's words impress you

7. If they contradict his actions
Do not follow what your eyes cannot attain

8. But ask God for His abundance
For how many poor gain riches

9. And are praised for their full livelihood
