1. O seeker of Allah, you have attained victory
And the delightful, pure gift, not the murky one
١. يا سائِلَ اللَهِ فُزتَ بِالظَفَرِ
وَبِالنَوالِ الهَنِيِّ لا الكَدَرِ
2. So aspire towards Allah, not towards a human
Who passes through decay and through others
٢. فَاِرغَب إِلى اللَهِ لا إِلى بَشَرٍ
مُنتَقِلٍ في البِلى وَفي الغِيَرِ
3. And aspire towards Allah, not towards a body
That passes from youth to old age
٣. وَاِرغَب إِلى اللَهِ لا إِلى جَسَدٍ
مُنتَقِلٍ مِن صِباً إِلى كِبَرِ
4. Indeed the One who never disappoints those who seek Him
His essence is unlike the essence of humans
٤. إِنَّ الَّذي لا يَخيبُ سائِلُهُ
جَوهَرُهُ غَيرُ جَوهَرِ البَشَرِ
5. Why do you occupy yourself with delusions?
Is safety from hellfire in your hands?
٥. ما لَكَ بِالتُرَّهاتِ مُشتَغِلاً
أَفي يَدَيكَ الأَمانُ مِن سَقَرِ
