1. O soul, verily truth is my religion
So humble yourself and find tranquility

2. For how long will I remain heedless?
O soul, woe to you, tell me

3. And for how long will I withhold
Stingily what my right hand possesses?

4. O soul, do not feel distressed
And trust in your Lord, and seek help from Him

5. O soul, you are miserly
And miserliness is from weakness of certainty

6. O soul, repent from the wrongdoing
Of betraying the brother with a tender heart

7. And hold fast to the causes of
The distressed one with a grieving heart

8. And think of death sometimes
Perhaps you may become gentle

9. So a swoon will cover me
For which my forehead glistens from its intoxication

10. And the camel drivers will chant their song
Around me with echoes

11. And after my demise make me
Clay that joins the clay

12. And there will come upon me beneath the soil
A time after some time
