Tell the one alone in this era, exalted and refined

whose character is free of every disgrace:

Of impeccable morals, devoid of any flaw

لا تكثرنَّ التيه عجباً فَما

عِندَ محبّيك لِذاك اِصطِبار

عِندَ محبّيك لِذاك اِصطِبار

Do not indulge too much in haughtiness out of conceit, for there is no

Do not despair, for your loved ones

لَم يعيه صَيد ظِباءِ القَفار

But one who hunts the lions of battle

But one who hunts the lion of discord

is not wearied by hunting the gazelles of the wilderness.

Will not be wearied by chasing wilderness deer
