1. You have stripped resolve to direct the water of the Nile
Away from the quagmires to Isna's bend in the Nile

2. Your stripping of resolve to make wealth just
To the realities away from the paths of vanities

3. If fingers are stretched toward one with bounty
They are stretched to you with the actions of snakes

4. As if they are stretched toward one with malice
They are stretched to you with the words of slander

5. Your efforts have excelled to flourish if flourished
Only by your saying or its broadcast in saying

6. Time has not criticized a seeker
Unless you were called Abu Sahl for facilitating
