1. How strange are the times and its people
See what has happened and transpired

2. Have you heard or seen any good in it, no
You see or hear only abhorrent eating

3. Knowledge is neglected, law is void in it
And piety has gone, and who seeks it

4. When I command or forbid, he answers
My habit, my habit, this is how I found it

5. I will not leave it even if we all die
I do not accept law, nor listen to its sayer

6. Those who listen said truthfully
This is a habit that does not harm him

7. He inherited it from his mother and father
Do you want to change what people are in

8. And habits, their rules are applicable
So leave us be, from the words of every jurist

9. O people! Is the religion of Islam or the religion
Of tyrants you are following it

10. So following desires is humiliation and shame
And its fruits its planters will reap

11. For revival, may his hands wither and be crushed
Then after God, with his supporters

12. May God destroy whoever builds it
May God destroy all who wear it

13. How strange are the times, growing worse
Each day more evil than the previous

14. Oh my sorrow, anguish and grief
Who will support every fool

15. My desired death, but death for me
Is better than what the free can attain

16. O man! If you want glory
Then follow the path of its walkers

17. Glory, difficulties of life, are not
Through ignorance, arrogance or misguidance

18. And the high position, honor altogether
Is in following the Messenger, o you who follow

19. My evil self, how it falters and wanders
So beware of death before it seizes you

20. And leave the people and what they are in
It will not benefit what they gained

21. Safety, safety, O Lord I
Fleeing came seeking it so grant it to me

22. Then facilitate what You love and are pleased with
Composer of words, with all its possessors

23. And a prayer specific to the best of creation
And the companions and family with its followers

24. And peace, however much a sayer said and recited
How strange are the times and its people

25. O Umar ibn Ibrahim, how can you seek advice
From a lad whose concerns are worldly matters

26. He has no good deeds or intention
He is but a corrupter, apparent and hidden

27. Do you not see, O Umar, in the matter of this issue
Is there a cure before the fate arrives

28. Or a supplication from a true loving sympathizer
Who prays for me in darkness, morning or evening

29. A prayer that will return him to matters sublime
And piety, guidance and the straight path

30. And conduct on an enlightened, pure faith
Hopefully a powerful breath from God

31. Grace from our Lord to erase the bad traits
All, all, nothing remains

32. Then we will be clothed and endowed with good traits
Then we will drink the drink of the people, happily

33. And the good ending, what a gift that is
O Hearer of prayer, O Hearer of complaints

34. Many are our sins, You see them and mistakes
Some obvious and some hidden, unclear

35. So forgive them all, Remover of every agony
O Merciful to us, our treasure and concealment

36. Grant us health and pardon us and prevent all harm
And remove injustice from us and afflictions

37. And give us what we ask and wish and hope for
By the interceding Prophet among mankind and jinn
