1. Do not imply any hidden meaning in the law
Only light contains gems

2. An essence created by the All Powerful
An essence with an inner and outer self

3. There is no truth except the law
There is no origin of tradition except love

4. Our law provides the believer with a ladder of certainty
To ascend through stations of certainty

5. The law of truth is the system of nations
And from systems comes the continuity of nations

6. In it lies aid, O sincere one
The white hand within it and the staff

7. It stood for Islam through the law
Begun with law and ended with law

8. For you is an eternal subtlety of the clear law
You who are trusted in the wisdom of religion

9. If an obstinate opponent challenges a Muslim
In performing optional acts that become obligations

10. These optional acts become an obligation on the nation
For life is the essence of destiny

11. And if an enemy army wages war
He neglects preparation and seeks peace

12. And spends his time in leisure
Neglecting war and taking equipment

13. It is forbidden to catch him off guard
Before taking all precautions

14. The secret of this matter, O wise one
Life is living between danger

15. It challenges you to please the Most High
To test your raging powers

16. And calls on you to break its back
And with the sword melt its rock

17. The lion in his fierceness has no peer
A trembling mule in its humiliation

18. If a difficult situation is told by a triumphant falcon
It is like the difficulty - alas it has vanished

19. The Lawgiver, Lord of Wisdom
Writes this tablet for you - the tablet of destiny

20. It sharpens resolve with the fire of action
And takes you to the highest station

21. And if you play around it gives you strength
And nurtures in you an unconquerable towering mountain

22. The religion of the Chosen One is the religion of life
Its law for people is the law of life

23. If you are land it makes you sky
And nurtures you as God wills

24. It polishes a mirror from solid rock
And refines the echo from the heart of iron

25. The people lost the banner of the Chosen One
They lost the symbol of continuity they knew

26. That strong branch, the staff of
Muslim of the desert, Lord of the Camel

27. Whom the plain made his planted seed vital
And the winds of destruction watered his soul

28. Today the non-Arab wind weakened it
And made it the flute of the non-Arab spirit

29. Killer of lions, slaughterer of sheep
An ant tread on it with pain

30. He who melted rock with his exaltation
A warbler tended to his singing

31. He who ascended hills swiftly rising
His feet and hands bound in chains

32. He whose severity severed necks
With his blow wounds the chest and heart

33. Awakener of horizons with his steps
His feet are bound in seclusion

34. He who obeyed people rejecting his order
And founded a land and broke its expanse

35. Content with sufficiency emphasizing his effort
Choosing hardship glorying his effort

36. Our Shaykh Ahmad of those in whose nearness
The sun earns brilliance from his heart

37. He said one day frustrated
Beware O passionate one the thought of non-Arabs

38. If their thought ascended through the stars
It has deviated from our way

39. O brother hear this guidance
Listen to the advice of the guiding Imam
