1. People are different, it is said a person is not rewarded for a deed, and it is said he is rewarded
And Allah is true, whoever ponders His matter

2. Knows certainty and senses wonder
A pigeon twittered with the praise of the Angels

3. Settling in Syria or arriving in Hejaz
And birds, like humans, know their Lord

4. And through them the poets and prose writers
Among them are those who speak and those who are silent

5. Who abandoned speech and chose brevity
So ask your pilgrim guide if you want guidance

6. And hold your tongue back from speaking metaphor
Do not accept a promise if you can manage without

7. And if you make one then make it easy to fulfil
The necks of matters have come to you through valleys

8. And you have glimpsed the wonder with your mind
