1. بذكر الله تزدادُ الذنوبُ

    وتحتجبُ البصائرُ والقلوبُ

    With remembrance of God, sins increase.

    And inner perceptions and hearts become veiled.

  2. وترك الذكر أفضل منه حالاً

    فإنَّ الشمسَ لها غروبُ

    And abandoning remembrance is a better state than remembrance itself.

    For indeed, the sun has a setting.
