1. The Prophet preached, and every ear was attentive,
In the two worlds, and every heart humble.

2. Say, O Muhammad, everything is silent,
Awaiting more, and everything listening.

3. Say, what teaches you He who is All-Knowing,
That souls tend towards corruption?

4. Discipline your people with the religion of God, for it
Is a religion that gathers all virtues.

5. This is the heritage of the whole world,
Its benefits flowing perpetually upon them.

6. For every age it has a pleasing draught,
And for every generation a splendid treasure.

7. Say to him who left the path: Correct yourself,
And let duty dissuade you from blindness.

8. For if you go astray, everything is harmful,
And if you are guided, everything is beneficial.

9. God sent down His rule in detail,
And the pious recognises the truth and obeys.
