1. Slay the soul with the sword of diligence
To attain the pleasure of your Master

2. And uncover the veils from the heart through Him
And contemplate the face of your Generous Lord

3. Be not of those who were commanded
But turned blind and deaf to truth

4. They asked and investigated and explored
And wandered lost in every valley

5. Had they but entrusted the matter
To the Lord of all men

6. And accepted what He had decreed
As far as they were able, for God guides aright
