1. Knowledge is the best thing to pursue
And a servant is a servant of what he pursues

2. This is the truth that has appeared
So take my advice or leave it

3. Whoever has the capacity for truth
Will never lack anything within his capacity

4. How noble is the servant who
Has put everything in its proper place

5. Both descending and ascending
Lowering and raising

6. His scale is in his hand
Like truth, he elevates and lowers

7. If he says a momentous word
He does not speak rashly

8. Because he knows that
Truth is unbreakable

9. O servants, take heed
Of the awfulness of Judgement Day

10. When a servant is brought to it
And thrown into Hell, let him look

11. To see his companion
Safety has been stripped from him

12. Saying, "By Allah, you almost
Led me to ruin with you"

13. "But I am an intercessor for you
If Allah wills, I shall intercede"

14. So praise be to Allah who
Saved me from what happened

15. But the ignorant man came
And there was nothing to deter him

16. In Surah As-Saff came a verse
If one understands its meanings, obtains them

17. The benefits it contains
In the abode of this world where

18. Every good has been gathered
Thanks be to Allah

19. Who blessed me and averted
From me what I fear

20. On the Day of Resurrection and panic
And in His inscription came

21. "This is the reward of one who followed
In his covenant and deed

22. Our Messenger in what he legislated
And everything he brought

23. Of legislation revealed to him
He did not hesitate for an hour

24. Nor invent or innovate"
His face will be light when

25. The light shines forth on the Day of Gathering
So praise be to Allah

26. Who is praised whether He gives or withholds
With this He sent us His revelation

27. So the tongues of creation followed
In that He said through

28. His tongue what He legislated
For him from what he says

29. Upon an imam who follows
The saying of one steadfast

30. Not an innovating person
And what glory is like this

31. And what pride has been heard
He wakes as a repentant servant

32. Turn away from me when he says I heard
By Allah, by Allah, the one

33. Who praises Him, this is what happened
