1. ما ليسَ تقبلُهُ العقولُ بلَذَّةٍ

    لا يسقر بها زماناً وافِرا

    What minds do not accept with pleasure

    does not remain in them for long.

  2. فَلِذا تَرى عَملَ التُقى في عقل من

    لم يستلذَّ بهِ شَرُوداً نافِرا

    Thus you see the practice of piety, in the mind of one

    who has found no pleasure in it, straying and fleeing.
