1. My dearest friend, why this lack of care when
If your heart would but awaken to wisdom on this journey

2. You’d refrain from idle wandering, seeking riches
A little wealth should suffice for your needs

3. Many before warned against the treacherous path
So beware of venturing there in your greed

4. Make the most of life while you’re able
For all journeys end at the grave’s door

5. Have you not seen the pilgrims when Hajj is done
Crying “To die!” they march on without fear
