1. O you who collects tax from the lion's den
You have become like a cunning fox in need

2. That limping is the root of illnesses
All your pains are from this predicament

3. Depriving the lofty mind of noble thought
Extinguishing the candle of brilliant intellect

4. From the treasures of life take what you want
And seize the blond from the essence of existence

5. And dismount from the journey like Omar
Beware of people's favor, be cautious

6. Hatim cried out, insisting on position
While you are like a child riding a reed

7. You will find poverty in begging, humiliated
And see the beggar, most disgraced and degraded

8. Dividing the self between begging and insisting
So its brilliance faded without shining

9. If there is hardship and effort in sustaining
And a flood of afflictions surrounds you

10. Do not discard sustenance with weeping
Do not expect water from a spring of wisdom

11. Beware of disgrace before the Chosen One
The day He shames all who fell short

12. The moon feeds off rays of the sun
So its blessings manifest upon it

13. Struggle against days, and God aid seek
Protect the water of the faith's white cheek

14. Teach people, truthful and correct
That God's beloved was a hard worker

15. Woe to those who bear the burden of that blessing
Head bowed under the weight of obligation

16. Soul burdened with the disgrace of subjugation
With a hoot he sold the crown of dignity

17. Welcome O thirsty, fasting with no
Request to Khidr for a drink during isolation

18. By asking people he never bowed his forehead
While the human is nothing but water and clay

19. Under this sun strides that noble youth
Head held high like a towering cypress

20. In hardship his determination intensified
Awake while his people slept
