1. Suns of truthfulness rose in the ascendant of good fortune,
Dispelling the darkness of jest and seriousness.

2. Decisive verses from the Book as if they are
With the necks of the people of deviation, swords that behead.

3. When an impartial and just person recites them,
He says they are the clear truth without denial.

4. And a biased invalidator turns away from them,
Imitating the opinions of men without critique.

5. He attributes the sayings of the Messenger and his actions
To his misguided opinion and destructive doctrine.

6. Enough for them is he who never ceased to be devoted
To supporting guidance and religion, the most generous Mahdi.

Traveled the path of the wind in the valley and plain.

And a marker of the falsehood of belief and purpose.

Of the people of knowledge and investigation from every seeker of guidance.

10. So he spoke with knowledge when he uttered
Otherwise he saw silence is better, so he did not speak.

11. By your life, piety is not by wearing a turban
Nor is leaving it, so take the path of the rightly guided.

12. Rather, it is an issue inside a person, and by God a concern
On which the permissibility in religion and doctrine revolves.

13. So be someone who stands at prohibitions, preventing
A soul that weeps for what destroys it.

14. And take the right path and walk the first
Of the messengers and the honorable progeny, the people of glory.

15. And beware embarking on speech as a judge
Of permissibility and prohibition without effective proof.

16. For you will become wandering in the land of misguidance
And on the Day of Gathering, you will be turned away from the eternal Paradise.

17. And my advice to you is not to read letters from a scholar
Among you, for it is clear abandonment that brings destruction.

18. Are there not in it verses of truth that are decisive
That indicate the intended matter from the servant?

19. And sayings of the best of messengers and his companions,
And people of advice and knowledge from every seeker of guidance?

20. So whoever was once rejecting the likes of this,
Saying the sayings of the Godless people,

21. Then there is nothing after it but misguidance and blindness,
And nothing after it but knowledge that brings destruction.

22. And you have sincere advice from me, if you accept advice,
And not every advisor is granted success and guidance.

23. Hold on to what is apparent in the decisive text
And the radiant Sunnah from the honest guide.

24. And read the books of Imam Muhammad
And his knowledgeable and critical sons.

25. For in them is what will extinguish the darkness
With which, from the lights of ignorance, fire is kindled upon fire.

26. They are role models in this time and proof,
And the scale of justice that does not deviate from moderation.

27. And say to the son of Qahdan: Restrain yourself, for you are only
Traveling a path of ignorance that keeps extending.

28. He will regret what he said on the day we meet
When the hidden becomes exposed at the place of gathering.

29. He had no knowledge, forbearance, or proof,
But he dishes up lies or sets them as snares.

30. So do not pay attention to a gang who have collaborated
To find fault with people of virtue and praise opponents.

31. They leaned towards the misleading soul and passions
To attain shares of praise and income.

32. Just as the ignorant speak of them in their state,
Between them there is separation, and this purpose is futile.

33. So ask your Lord for steadfastness and ask Him for protection
That will save you from evil until you are laid in the grave.

34. Had the scholar before us not said what he said,
We would have repaid him in kind without limit.

35. And this is a hastily written letter
That shifts between pacing and galloping.

36. O my God, whoever's worry or joy it is,
The owls of nights and cold lament.

37. Upon the Guided Trustworthy Messenger and his progeny,
The people of memorization and seriousness.
