1. Abu Dharr, you journeyed on a camel
If a speck of dust touched it, it would collapse

2. The travel showed him one state after another
So it weakened his bones and melted his skin

3. You went for your belongings, not leaving them behind
Despite his weakness, he did not leave you behind

4. You strengthened your power when his power weakened
And you accepted the matter when you saw its seriousness

5. And you walked on, becoming firmer in resolve than him
With the most truthful determination and the most intense diligence

6. You walked wanting the face of God until
You reached His Messenger and met His troops

7. They saw you leading them alone, so they said
A brother in God, who fears God with all his effort

8. And it was said, Abu Dharr has come, so welcome
Our companion who did not betray his covenant

9. Lo, the one who strives towards us
Walks alone, dies alone, and is resurrected alone after this

10. Glory to Him who chooses His servant
