1. God's pleasure is the highest aspiration of His servants,
And His piety is more beneficial than any worldly gain.

2. In people, intimacy with the Lord is everything,
When the heart's whisperings are corrected by the devotee.

3. And if he builds the life of this world and their world together,
It is easy prey for the causes of misery and its harvest.

4. When the heart of man is absent from other than his Lord,
His Master in that absence is his witness.

5. May God preserve the hearing of the wise one,
Whenever His promise or warning comes to him.

6. And whoever makes remembrance an intimate discourse,
Repeating it with relish and reiterating it,

7. Saw asceticism in the abode of annihilation, so its sights
Did not appeal to him beyond what sufficed the ascetic.

8. And was certain that all things belong to God,
So from yearning, his preparation and mustering.

9. And was good to the created in the right of the Creator,
So He granted success in what he intended and increased him.

10. And was not content save with justice among people as a trait,
With worldly life fulfilled, and a religion that benefits him.

11. It is the knowledge adding to every shadow,
And sufficient for him from that which afflicted and supported him.

12. An imam with both the religion and the world in his grasp,
Deeds none of his servants achieved before him.

13. So his wise words are eloquent,
And his tested sword is sharp.

14. Indeed, the Commander of the Faithful is master
Of those above, from scholars to the unique.

15. For him are processions of Muslims' prayers,
Directed through events as he wishes.

16. For that, openings come to him in succession,
And every matter he wants is brought near to him.

17. Unique in existence is his purpose, and for it
The ruler of India assumed the caliphate as his necklace.

18. So he did not cease being faithful to what rouses him,
Nor cease being victorious over those who scheme against him.
