خَلِّ جَنبَيكَ لِبَاغِ

وتجوَّز بِبَلاغِ

Leave both your sides open to any seeker,

and make do with enough to see you through.

واستمع ما أنزلَ اللَّ

ه ولا تسمع لِلاغِ

Listen to what God has sent down,

and do not listen to an idle babbler.

لا يَزِغ قلبُكَ واهجُر

كلَّ ذي قلبٍ مُراغِ

Let not your heart swerve; shun

all those whose hearts turn aside.

فَقَديماً أَفسَدَ المَر

ءَ يَسارٌ في فَراغِ

For man has long been corrupted

by affluence amid idleness.
