1. If you desire to follow the guidance of the imams
Then be steadfast, as calamities will test you

2. With a dignified soul in the face of every hardship
And a patient heart that withstands in the chest

3. Your tongue is saddened and your gaze inspired
Your secret known to the Lord, made public

4. Your remembrance is drowned and your door is closed
Your mouth smiles and your stomach hungry

5. Your heart is wounded and your market depressed
Your grace is buried and your flaws made known

6. And every day you drink a bitterness
From fate, friends, the heart obedient

7. Your day is people's business without obligation
Your night is longing where pleasures are lost

8. So take this night, make use of it
For a gloomy day where excuses are scarce
