1. You let your self be overcome, heedless of advice,
A self made callous by every admonition.
١. غَلبَتكَ نَفسَكَ غَيرَ مُتَّعِظَه
نَفسٌ مُقَرَّعَةٌ بِكُلِّ عِظَه
2. A self well-managed and well-arranged,
Sought after in sleep and in wakefulness.
٢. نَفسٌ مُصَرَّفَةٌ مُدَبَّرَةٌ
مَطلوبَةٌ في النَومِ وَاليَقَظَه
3. A self that will become confused and tempted
If it is not preserved from them.
٣. نَفسٌ سَتَعبِطُها وَساوِسُها
إِن لَم تَكُن مِنهُنَّ مُنحَفِظَه
4. So God suffices you; there is no god but Him.
He who shepherds the shepherds and preserves what is to be preserved.
٤. فَاللَهُ حَسبُكَ لا سِواهُ وَمَن
راعى الرُعاةَ وَحافَظَ الحَفَظَه
