1. I shun the one of despicable character
And turn away gracefully from my friend's sin

2. And make my thoughts pure jewelry
To make him envious, though shackled he's been

3. And make myself, from my bountiful soul, rich
Of this world, though my state is bare and thin

4. And not please the wicked by revealing harm
Even if I'm submitted to loss and chagrin

5. And how much laughter I've hidden tears with
So my secret and mind stay safe within

6. And the minister will help me in calamities
When fate seeks to destroy all that I win

7. Kindness's flow, a Hashimite prevails
Leader of the living, in conquest and giving

8. Vanquishing crises, overcoming adversity
When severity fills all the land living

9. With resolve he reaches farthest ends subdued
And glory's roughness made smooth like a plain

10. When I saw his heights, they surpassed
All the world, so upon him virtue I rain
