إن رُمتَ نَهجَ المُصطفي خَالِياً

مِن غَرَضٍ عن نَهجِهِ صَارِفِ

If you wish to follow the Prophet's path sincerely,

Free from any purpose turning you away from it,

مِن مُشتَهى الخَارِفِ كُن غَارِفاً

في ظِلِّ رَوضٍ يَانِعِ وَارِفِ

Be oblivious to the fleeting fancies of the frivolous,

Under the shade of a blissful, flourishing garden.

في مُشتَهَى الخَارِفِ مَا تَشتَهِى

نَفسُ اللَّبِيبِ المُنصِفِ العَارِفِ

The discerning, fair-minded knower of truth

Has no craving for the frivolous man's fleeting fancies.
