1. The people have departed while you remain,
Bidden farewell while you are veiled and deprived.

2. They were true of purpose so their path was eased,
While your love of attaining desires was predestined.

3. The wave of your sin has shielded you from harm
In it lies ruin, yet I see you do not rise.

4. You are blamed for leaving the Hejaz, so you waver
With no excuse, while you are accused.

5. Do good, for you have parted from all wrongdoing.
Wait, for with His knowledge you are known.

6. You are not among those who journeyed ahead
Toward the Prophet, nor do I see you rise.

7. Whenever a coin appears to you in the sand,
You rush to sit by it and stand.

8. And if God wills to assign a task to someone,
The Arabs submit to him, and the Romans.

9. People are but travelers to their Lord,
While others are confused, worried and distressed.
