1. O soul, why do you yearn to remain in
A land where everything you wish is difficult?
١. يا نَفسُ مالَك تَهوَينَ الإِقامة في
أَرضٍ تَعَذَّرَ كُلٌّ مِن مناكِ بِها
2. Have you not recited, 'Man's weakness is a flaw?'
So walk in its plains, as you have been commanded.
٢. أَما تَلوتِ وَعَجزُ المَرءِ منقصةٌ
في محكم الوَحي فامشوا في مَناكِبها
