1. To be resolute is to make sacrifice
And your Lord is pleased with you in hard times

2. Wisdom lies in mixing with the righteous
For virtue comes from good company

3. Leave what misleads and ruins
And brings prolonged sorrow and distress

4. Take comfort for your soul at night and banish
From your eyes the alluring slumber

5. The heedless and procrastinating
Are like beasts grazing in the meadows
