1. This house of ours, it is the trees,
And upon them our bodies are flowers.

2. And the souls when the shell of the body is gone,
They remain as the fruits.

3. So turn your mind inward, binding it,
What troubles all will be undone for you.

4. And guard your heart and protect within
From all evil and what is disgrace.

5. And leave others be, do not pry into them,
It distracts the mind from you because of annoyance.

6. God has made some of us a test
For others where we sufficed and where need.

7. And upon you, He has said “your souls!” O wise one,
So guide, even if the ignorant refuse.

8. And be aware, for we have made
What is on earth an illusion of deceit.

9. This is the pure advice that has appeared
Casting away fear and caution.

10. It has urged passion for the zeal, so it was removed
By piety from its glorious thrones.

11. Stand at the door of my tavern, O my friend,
Hopefully the bartender will allow you inside.

12. And listen to the voice of my lute singing
Where my body is in its hands like a flute.

13. And all existence is night for a people
Who are ignorant, and it is day for another people.

14. And gardens of bliss are for some people
While for others there is only fire.

15. So consider what I say to you and understand
Good understanding from you and consideration.
