1. Praise God, O Ahmed, if you wish
For what God has chosen for you is best and most praiseworthy

2. To God belongs what He gives, and to God belongs what He takes back
So stick to God and leave all else, you will find happiness

3. Contentment and satisfaction are treasures that will not run out
What is written for you will inevitably come about

4. What is not destined for you, even if you had it, would run out
No more toil, anxiety, sorrow and hardship

5. And beware of time and its people, do not overstep
Do not rely on the words of the critic, no matter how harsh

6. Say to those who told you to accumulate a hundred or more
We accumulate knowledge, remembrance, eternal wisdom

7. For in poverty lies a comfort not found through striving
And follow the path of your ancestors, if you wish to be guided

8. So read the clear gemstone and the necklace to bear witness
To the noble deeds that came from them both far and near

9. And God most high, most valuable, most generous, most one
I do not envy the safety that came through their strife

10. On their lofty path, even if opposed at every turn
Silent in remembrance lifelong, giving thanks and praise

11. And blessings upon Ahmed, from his belly came
Stones thrown at him, and his family and companions, and those who

12. Walked his path, no matter what critics recited and sung
Praise God, O Ahmed, if you wish you will be praised
