1. Praise be to Allah, who has no partner
My habit morning and evening
١. الحَمدُ لِلّهِ لا شَريكَ لَهُ
دَأبِيَ في صُبحِهِ وَفي غِلسِه
2. None remains to comfort me, to give me comfort
Except the one whose company I fear
٢. لَم يَبقَ لِيَ مُؤنِسٌ فَيُؤنِسَني
إِلّا أَنيسٌ أَخافُ مِن أُنسِه
3. So avoid people as much as you are able
And do not rely on those whose impurity you fear
٣. فَاِعتَزِلِ الناسَ ما اِستَطَعتُ وَلا
تَرَكن إِلى مَن تَخافُ مِن دَنَسِه
4. For the servant hopes for what he cannot attain
And death is closer to him than his own self
٤. فَالعَبدُ يَرجو ما لَيسَ يَدرِكَهُ
وَالمَوتُ أَدنى إِلَيهِ مِن نَفسِه
