وَإِذا شئت أَن تَعيش سَعيداً

زُر مَكان الكِبار تَرقى مَكانا

And if you wish to live happily,

And if you wish to live happy,

Visit the abode of the great, and you will rise in station.

Visit the place of the great, you will ascend a place,

تَسمَع القَول كَالجُمان وَتَشمم

عَبيراً وَتَنظرنَ حِسانا

You will hear speech like pearls and inhale

You hear words like pearls and you smell

Fragrance, and behold beauties.

A fragrance and you see beauty
