1. If you take refuge in God in your worldly life,
Then do not be afraid if your steps falter.

2. And seek for yourself, other than the earth, a dwelling,
If you desire a bliss wherein is no pain.

3. He who lived on earth, his safety is not to be hoped for,
From an affliction and the calamities of time that are crowded.

4. And how can he feel safe from the blows of the waves, he
Who ventured into the sea while the billows clash together.

5. The accidents of fate choose the honorable, so
They have continued according to the measures of destiny to divide.

6. And the anxiety of each is according to the extent of his anxiety,
So there are no worries for a people who have no ambitions.

7. People to people are like enemies, it has not ceased
That most of the time hostility comes from them.

8. If their harm is not deliberate, then by mistake,
And it may be with the intention of benefiting, their harm.

9. The gain of living in the present world is to avoid them,
But that is not something to be coveted.

10. They are like food, which we cannot do without,
With it we live, and from it comes disease.

11. All jewels are loaned fineries
Whose value becomes cheap when characters and reputations are safe.

12. And money is like the breeze, if by
God's power in our bodies the breath is safe.

13. Weeping is not for a loss after which there is no replacement,
But weeping is for a loss after which is naught.

14. Wealth may sprout like the nails, you cut it,
And the gap of wealth is like a wound that closes up.

15. As long as the predator eagle has wings,
The prey will not escape from it wherever it retreats.

16. And good knows paths which it is accustomed to,
So it does not get lost even if darkness should stand in its way.

17. More honorable for a man than the glory of wealth,
Is the glory of loyalty, piety of God, and generosity.

18. And the highest of people in rank with God,
Is he who was not violating people's rights.

19. God has a secret in creation we do not perceive,
And a wisdom for which judgments, without Him, are nullified.

20. A servant is granted only what He has ordained, and
No one afflicts him but what the Pen has flowed.

21. God will mend a heart that remained broken,
And He does not leave an ember that continued to burn.

22. There is no narrowness in time save after which is relief,
And no youth but after it is old age.

23. When God aims His favor upon a servant in difficulty,
He keeps the left so the difficulty does not take it by surprise.

24. If His blessing at the victory of God did not last,
Then the gratitude to God and blessings have been cared for.
