1. الراهِبُ المَسجونُ فَرطَ عِبادَةٍ

    مِن حُّبِّ دُنياهُ الكَذوبِ مُوَلَّهُ

    The monk, imprisoned by excessive worship,

    is besotted with love for his deceitful world.

  2. أَعَرَفتُمُ أَصحابُكُم بِحَقيقَةٍ

    أَم كُلُّكُم عَنهُم غَبيٌّ أَبلَهُ

    Have you truly come to know your companions,

    or is each of you ignorant of them, a fool?

  3. ذَكَرَ التَأَلُّهَ فَاِدَّعوهُ تَخَرُّصاً

    ما هَذِهِ أَفعالُ مَن يَتَأَلَّهُ

    He mentioned devotion, so they claimed it groundlessly;

    these are not the deeds of one who worships God.
