1. Had it not been for three things I wish for
I would not count myself among the living:

2. My hope to attain sincere repentance
That absolves my sins and makes my efforts fruitful,

3. To protect myself from every lowly ignoramus
So I walk not to his door a single step,

4. To adhere to the Prophet's way though people forget it
And follow their opinions instead of his guidance.

5. Would you forsake the Prophet's way and follow
A person who has replaced guidance with error?
