اعتزلِ الناسَ ومِلْ

اعتزلِ الناسَ ومِلْ

عنهمْ بنفسٍ صادقهْ

عنهمْ بنفسٍ صادقهْ

Withdraw from people and turn

Turn away from people and be done

away from them with a sincere soul.

With them with a sincere soul

صارَ الرباطُ كاسمِهِ

صارَ الرباطُ كاسمِهِ

والخانقاهُ خانقَهْ

والخانقاهُ خانقَهْ

The ribat has become a tether, true to its name,

The monastery became like its name

and the khanqah a strangler.

And the hermitage a strangler

والناسُ قد تصنَّعوا

والناسُ قد تصنَّعوا

وليسَ فيهمْ بارقَهْ

وليسَ فيهمْ بارقَهْ

And people have put on an act,

People have become pretentious

and there is no glimmer among them,

And among them there is no lightning flash

إلا قليلاً قال عن

إلا قليلاً قال عن

دنياهُ أنتِ طالقَهْ

دنياهُ أنتِ طالقَهْ

except a few who said of

Except a few who said about

their worldly life: “You are divorced.”

His world, "You are divorced"
