1. O envier of blessings in others,
And going astray in your ignorance,

2. You are in the sea of generosity,
Yet you envy the poor in their sins,

3. The moon has guided your eyelids in the darkness of night,
Yet you do not glance at its orb,

4. You envy him in all his states,
And add more than his gains,

5. In his eating of goodness, his drinking,
His wearing of bounty, his riding,

6. O sleeper who envies his brothers,
God has preferred them, so wake up,

7. Look with the eye of thought at this and that,
Customs of truth are not like the ambiguous,

8. Your state does not remain, nor does his,
How near is the thirsty to his drink,

9. And the moon, though you like its radiance,
It pains you in its setting,

10. Do not accompany one with envy, for it
Is the first sin disobeying God.
