1. Leave me be, woes come to me, seeking pleasure,
When was I an arm, driving pleasure?

2. You wish for wealth from a politician like him,
And before that you were not hoping for money,

3. I will advise an insight, if old age draws near,
And every person one day will end up transient,

4. That you do not hesitate to love someone distant,
Nor refuse if he ends up being near you and content,

5. So this hatred, shun it, and this love, reward it,
Above his love, or increase upon it openly,

6. And look after the well-being of the living, wherever you find them,
And do not refrain from bearing sociability,

7. And if one day a person scowls at you,
Then leave him be, even if he is close,

8. And truly, being mindful of the Merciful, nothing compares,
So have patience, if you face crushing adversity,

9. And do not associate with your Lord, associating with Him,
Diminishes those good deeds, whatever remains,

10. Rather, worship Allah alone, no partner to His essence,
He will be with you in what you toil for today,

11. And beware of dead things, do not go near them,
The word of Allah forbidding that is sufficient,

12. And do not make promises to people you will not fulfil,
Nor insult a kind, pure neighbor,

13. And do not abandon connecting with your relatives,
Nor be predatory among the clan, attacking,

14. And if a person entrusts you with a trust,
Then fulfil it if you die, you will be called loyal,

15. And do not deny the secrets of your neighbor,
You cannot hide anything from Allah in secret,

16. And do not envy your master if he has wealth,
Nor deprive him if you have become self-sufficient,

17. And do not let down the people if an afflicted one seeks refuge,
You will never lack a path to glory if you call,

18. And be an impenetrable fortress behind the neighbor,
And ignite a blaze that elevates the face, protective,
