الحمدلله لا يحصى على الله ثناه

سبحانه عز سلطانه تعالى علاه

Praise be to Allah, His praise cannot be counted

Glory be to Him, mighty is His kingdom, exalted is His highness

ثم الصلاة مع التسليم عد العضاه

على النبي رسول الله ختم أنبياه

Then salutations and peace be upon the best of creation

Upon the Prophet, messenger of Allah, the seal of prophets

والآل والصحب والاتباع له وأولياه

وبعد فالنصح ينصت له من الله هداه

And upon his family, companions, and followers

Now the advice - listen to it, O Allah guide him

يا صاح بانصحك قاطع قاطعين الصلاه

هم الشياطين والقوم العتاة العصاه

O friend, I advise you, cut off those who cut off the prayer

They are devils and disobedient transgressors

هم جند ابليس والحزب القساة النساة

احذر تجالسهم أو ترضى الطغاة البغاه

They are the army of Iblis and the hardened sinners

Beware of sitting with them or being pleased with the oppressive tyrants

احذر تخالطهم أنى لك نصيح وناه

احذر تجيهم سوى للنصح خذها وصاه

Beware of mingling with them wherever you are, this is sincere advice

Beware of drawing close to them except to advise - take this counsel

اقرأ كلام الله إن كنت من أهل القراه

واسمع أحاديث طه ذي روتها الرواه

Read the words of Allah if you are of the people of recitation

And listen to the narrations of Taha (Prophet Muhammad) related by narrators

من لم يصل فهو كافر ويوم لقاه

لله يلقاه غضبان عليه الإله

Whoever does not pray is an infidel, and when the day comes to meet Him

He will meet Allah angry with him

هي رأس الإسلام من يقطعه ماله حياه

من لم يصل فقط اخطا طريق النجاه

It is the foundation of Islam, whoever abandons it has no life

Whoever does not pray has only erred from the path of salvation

من لم يصل مع فرعون يبعث نراه

ويكتب اسمه بباب النار دار الشقاه

Whoever does not pray will be resurrected with Pharaoh - we will see him

And his name will be written at the gates of Hell, the home of misery

وابليس صاحبه ماله منه ميل أوتباه

يلقيه في كل ورطه ذي تقطع عراه

And Iblis will be his companion, he has no inclination or desire for him

He will throw him into every trouble that will cut off his excuse

هي ركن الإسلام ياذا لا تكن عنه ساه

وهي عموده كذا جاعن رواة ثقاه

It is a pillar of Islam - O you who do not be neglectful of it

And it is its column, as the trustworthy narrators have stated

مايترك الفرض إلا من قدالله عماه

وسوف يندم إذا غر غروجات الوفاه

None abandons the obligation except those whom Allah has blinded

And he will regret when the afflictions of death overcome him

وزادد فنوه في قبره وجايسالاه

فيه نكير مع منكروبه عذباه

And his sins increase in his grave and he faces a dreadful state

Wherein he will face the questioning of Munkar and Nakeer and be punished

يصيح في القبر ياويلاه ياحسرتاه

يظل يبكي ولا ينفعه شيء بكاه

He will cry out in the grave, "Oh woe to me! Oh my anguish!"

He will remain weeping but his weeping will not benefit him at all

علاه تترك صلاتك ياابن آدم علاه

قم صل مادمت عادك في فسيح الحياه

Will you abandon your prayer, O son of Adam, will you?

Stand and pray as long as you are able in the expansiveness of life

قم صل من قبل موتك والكفن والنعاه

قم صل من قبل يأتيك المنيه فجاه

Stand and pray before your death, shroud, and funeral

Stand and pray before the appointed time of death suddenly comes upon you

قم صلها في الجماعه واستمع للدعاه

تفضل على المنفرد عشرين وازيد صلاه

Pray in congregation and listen to the call to prayer

It is superior to praying alone by twenty prayers or more

واستنج ثم أنونيتك الوضو للصلاه

وعمم الوجه وابعد مانجد من أذاه

Make ablution, cleanse yourself for prayer

Wipe your face and keep away any harm

ثم اغسل يديك وابلغ في العضد منتهاه

ثم امسح الرأس واحسن غسل رجلك وراه

Then wash your hands to the elbows

Then wipe your head and wash your feet and what is behind them well

ومن عليه حدث أكبر لموجب أتاه

فليغسل الجسم كله لا يبقى قذاه

Whoever has a major impurity for an obligation that has come upon him

Let him wash his entire body, leaving no filth

شعرا وبشراو ينوي رفعه في ابتداه

وطهر الجسم والثوب الذي قد علاه

Including hair and skin, intending to remove it from the start

And purify the body and garment that he put on

والبقعة اللي عليها باتناجي الإله

من النجاسات والحرمه والاشتباه

And the spot that was contaminated, O my God

From filth, prohibition, and doubt

واستر لعورتك واحذر من صلاة العراء

يبطل صلاته بكشف الستر والله عطاه

And cover your nakedness and beware of praying naked

It invalidates the prayer to uncover the cover - Allah has granted it

وصل في الوقت لا قبله ولا هي قفاه

إلا لنوم واكراه وجمع وساه

Pray on time, not before or after it

Except for sleep, coercion, combining, or forgetfulness

وميز الفرض من مسنونها باقتفاه

واستقبل الكعبة الغرا بحسن انتباه

And distinguish between the obligatory and optional with following

And face the Honorable Kaaba properly with awareness

واحذر تحرك وجانب مبطلات الصلاه

كالأكل والشرب والأقوال لو نحواه

And beware of moving or sides that invalidate the prayer

Like eating, drinking, or speech even if you intend it

واغسل القلب سبعا من جميع الدناه

واقبل على الله واترك كل شيء سواه

And cleanse the heart seven times from all sins

And turn to Allah, leaving everything else behind

وانو وكبر وقم واقرأ بأحسن قراه

للفاتحة وافهم المعنى لما الله تلاه

Intend, say Allahu Akbar and stand, recite in the best recitation

The Fatiha, understand its meaning that Allah recited

واركع ورض في ركوعك لا تكن صاح لاه

ثم اعتدل واحمد المولى على ماحباه

Bow and remain steady in your bowing, do not be inattentive

Then rise upright and praise the Lord for what He has granted you

واسجد وأحسن وسبح من تعالى علاه

واجلس ورض واسأل الغفران ربك عساه

And prostrate, excelling, and glorify the Exalted

And sit and be content and ask your Lord for forgiveness, may He forgive you

وبعده اجلس مع حسن الأدب للإله

واقرا التحيات خذها من ثقاة كماه

And after it, sit with good manners for Allah

And recite the greetings, take them from reliable narrators as they are preserved

ورح تعلم ولا ترضى بجهل العماه

وبعد صل على الهادي بأفضل صلاه

Seek knowledge and do not be content with the blindness of ignorance

Then send prayers on the guide in the best way

ثم ادع ربك باذكار روتها الرواه

وبعد سلم ورتبها على ماحكاه

Then supplicate to your Lord with the remembrances narrated

And afterwards say the tasleem and perform it as He described

في النظم واسلك سبيل العلم نهج النجاه

عليك بالعلم واعمل به تنل ماتشاه

In prose, and follow the path of knowledge, the course of salvation

Acquire knowledge and act upon it to attain what you desire

دنيا وأخرى وتعطي من إلهك رضاه

فالعلم نور وأبصار وظل حياه

Worldly and next, and your Lord will give you His satisfaction

For knowledge is light, insight, and the shade of life

والجهل موت عمي ظلمه بذا الله هجاه

والجهل عله وليس إلا التعلم دواه

While ignorance is death, blindness - its darkness, may Allah protect us

And ignorance is sickness, nothing cures it but learning

ما أقبح الجهل ما اشتمه وماأوحش رباه

فرض على كل مسلم علم وصف الإله

How ugly is ignorance! How foul and lonely are its people!

It is an obligation on every Muslim to know the attributes of Allah

وأنه فرد عالم قادر ما كماه

وأنه أرسل رسول الله سيد الهداه

That He is One, All-Knowing, Capable, Perfect

And that He sent the Messenger of Allah, master of guides

محمد بن عبدالله خير الدعاه

ولد بمكة ووحى الله فيها أتاه

Muhammad ibn Abdullah, best of callers

Born in Makkah and Allah revealed to him there

وهجرته للمدينه ثم فيها الوفاه

وعلم أحكام شرع الله مما نهاه

And his migration to Madinah, then in it was his passing

And he taught the rulings of Allah's Law from what He forbade

عنه ومما أمر به حتم لا مساواه

أو شيء أراده كمثل أحكام بيعه شراه

And from what He ordered, determined with no substitution

Or anything He intended such as rulings of sales and purchases

وعلم أحوال هذا القبر واللي وراه

أمر مهول يشيب الطفل حين يراه

And he taught the states of the grave and what comes after

A tremendous matter that makes the child turn gray when he sees it

كالحشر والنشر والوزن لما قد جناه

والجسر والحوض والنيران دار الشقاه

Like the gathering, resurrection, weighing of deeds

And the bridge, basin, fires - home of the miserable

مع جنان خلقها ربنا لأولياه

ثم على الشخص فرض أن يعلم نساه

Along with gardens created by our Lord for His allies

Then it is obligatory on the individual to teach his women

وأولاده ثم جيرانه ومن قدر آه

تارك لشي من أمور الدين أوشى أتاه

And children, then neighbors, and whoever he is able

Leaving nothing of the matters of religion or anything that has come to him

وهو محرم فينهاه كما الله نهاه

بالرفق واللطف نصحا لا يعنف أخاه

That is forbidden so he forbids it as Allah forbade

Gently and kindly - advising, not harming his brother

واكسب حلالا وجانب جانب الإشتباه

وزك مالك فثالث ركن ركن الزكاه

And earn what is lawful and avoid doubtful matters

And purify your wealth - the third pillar, pillar of zakat

وصم لفرضك وحج البيت طف في فناه

ولازم الذكر لله أن أردت ولاه

And fast your obligation and make pilgrimage, revolving around its courtyard

And hold fast to the remembrance of Allah if you want His guardianship

فالذكر لله يجلي عن فؤادك صداه

والذكر لله يحيى القلب بل هو غذاه

For the remembrance of Allah clears worries from your heart

The remembrance of Allah gives life to the heart, rather it is its nourishment

يستثمر الذكر من يذكر قريب جناه

وللمساجد بيوت الله حرمه وجاه

The one who remembers reaps its benefits, soon its harvest

Give the mosques - houses of Allah - their sanctity and prestige

وقد بنت للعبادة فاعطها مقتضاه

وزائر الله في بيته وجب له قراه

They were built for worship so give them their due

Whoever visits Allah in His house is owed recitation

فعظموها بفعل الخير مما ارتضاه

وعطروها بكل رائحه مشتهاه

So honor them by doing good that He approves

And scent them with every fragrance you desire

ونزهوها عن أقوال الخنا والدناه

وكل مستقذر أو رائحه مشتناه

And keep them pure from immoral speech and humbleness

And everything offensive or a smell that stinks

وكل شيء فهو ينضح بمافي أناه

وعادني أوصيك ياطالب سبيل النجاه

For everything exudes what is within it

And I advise you, O seeker of the path of salvation

وراغبا في السلامه كف هذى اللهاه

فما يكب الخلائق في جهنم سواه

And desirer of well-being, restrain this nonsense

What destroys mankind into Hellfire besides it?

وكل من كان يؤمن يا فتى بالإله

واليوم الآخر فيصمت أو يقل ما يراه

Whoever believes in Allah, O youth, and the Last Day

Will remain silent or say only what he sees as good

خيرا محقق ويترك كل قول عداه

هذا ومن حسن إسلام الفتى أن تراه

Truthful, and leave all other speech

This one's Islam is good when he is seen

تارك لما ليس يعنيه مجانب حماه

وصن بطنك ولا تطلقه فيما اشتهاه

Leaving what does not concern him, avoiding nonsense

Protect your stomach and do not unleash it in what it desires

فأملي قط شر من وعاء خلاه

حسب ابن آدم لقيمات يقمن قواه

For I have never seen evil from an empty vessel

It is enough for the son of Adam to stand up for his strength

وكل شر فملىء البطن أصل ابتداه

ذا من حلال فكيف السحت والإشتباه

And every evil fills the stomach - its origin began

This is from the lawful, so what of the doubtful and prohibited?

إن الورع ساس هذا الدين فاحكم بناه

ياويل من قد قسا قلبه كأنه حصاه

Indeed, piety is the foundation of this religion, so build upon it

Oh woe to those whose hearts have hardened like stones

ما عاد يسمع ولا يرجع لداع دعاه

لا هي بدنيا دنيه هام فيها وتاه

They no longer listen or return to one who calls them

They are not in the lowly worldly life, wandering lost within it

غرته الأمال وابليسه وقاده هواه

ولا معه قط من دنياه إلا عناه

Deceived by hopes and Iblis, led by their desires

And they have of it only exhaustion, anxiety, preoccupation, and oppression of rulers

والهم والغم والشغله وظلم الولاه

إن الهنا والغنى إلا كبر وطيب الحياه

Indeed, happiness and riches are only pride and wholesome life

For every heart of integrity - its light is its purity

لكل قلب سليم زادنوره صفاه

طوبى لعبد من الطاعات نحر ملاه

Good tidings to the servant who fills his life with obedience

Love of good and good people are his strength and water

محبة الخير وأهل الخير قوته وماه

آيب وتايب من الذنب الذي قد جناه

Regretful and repentant of sins he has committed

Fearful of his sins, hoping Allah will forgive his mistakes

خائف ذنوبه يرجو الله يغفر خطاه

صابروشا كروراضي بالذي له قضاه

Patient, thankful, satisfied with what is decreed for him

Busy with Allah, not busy with anything else

مشغول بالله لم يشغل بشيء سواه

وليس له قصد أو مطلوب إلا رضاه

Having no intention or desire except His pleasure

Crying, weeping over his shortcomings, ah ah

ينوح يبكي على تقصيره آه آه

خذا من الناس في جانب عطاهم قفاه

Taking from people in an aspect of giving them their dues

And did not say what did people say or do, ah

ولم يقل ايش قال الناس أو فعلوا آه

مراقب الله كأنه للمهيمن يراه

Observing Allah as if the Watcher sees him

You see him up at night, not resting from recitation

تراه في الليل ساهر ما تهنى كراه

خامل في الناس من دنياه ما جاكفاه

Humble among people, of the worldly life not avaricious

The treasure of contentment, his belongings overflowing from it

كنز القناعة متاعه فاض منها وعاه

تجرع الصبر أيام البقا والحياه

He drank patience in the days of life

For courage is only an hour before destruction comes

فما الشجاعه سوى ساعه وجات البتاه

هذا هو العز ليس الغزمال وجاه

This is honor, not boastful pride and prestige

Nor wearing silk, gold, and adornment

ولا بلبس الحرير والذهب والهياه

واعلم بأنك في وقت كثير بلاه

And know that you are in a time of great tribulation

Religion has diminished, and goodness diminished, and life diminished

قد قل دينه ومعروفه وقل حياه

وزاد شاع التبرج في النسا والجراه

And displaying tabarruj (wanton display) increased among women and immoral ones

They do not fear Allah or the words of detractors

ماخافوا الله ولا خافوا مقال الشناه

فلا يجوز لمراه مؤمنه بالإله

It is not permissible for a believing woman in Allah

To show to a non-mahram beyond her youth

تظهر على أجنبي قد تعدى صباه

هذا ولو لم تكن ريبه ولا مشتهاه

Even if she has no doubt or desire

Nor going out perfumed such that its fragrance spreads

ولا البروز مع عطر يفوح شذاه

ولا التبرج بالزينه كفعل الجفاه

Nor tabarruj with adornment like the actions of the immoral

Nor going out with exposure of anything the Law prohibited

ولا الخروج مع كشف لشيء أباه

الشرع فاتبع لشرع الله دع ما عداه

So follow the Law of Allah, leave whatever opposes it

And doing what prevents purification during prayer

وفعل ما يمنع التطهير عند الصلاه

وكالنياحه على الميت وصوت النعاه

Like wailing for the deceased and the voice of lamentation

Also shortening the garment, how ugly is that display!

كذاك تقصير وجه الثوب ما أقبح زراء

مكشفات كماجا كاسيات عراه

Exposing like the naked though clothed

Most despised state, she earns everyone's rejection

أخسس بها حالة حازت لكل رداه

زينها إبليس حسنها لهم باغتواه

Iblis adorned it, its beauty deceived them

Those who follow custom have failed, wasted their guidance

قد خاب من تابع العاده وضيع هداه

إن العوايد لدين الله سمه وداه

Customs are poison to the religion of Allah

Seeking people's pleasure, not attaining His reward

يطلب رضا الناس منهم ليس يدرك مناه

بل فاز بالذم من ربه ومنهم شفاه

But earning condemnation from his Lord and their lips

Can such a state be satisfactory for one whose argument is complete?

فهل ترى يرتضى ذا الحال كامل حجاه

وسورة النور فيها أي زاجروناه

And Surat An-Nur wherein is that which deters and prohibits

And remember the verse in Al-Ahzab guiding the blind

وعاد آيه في الأحزاب تهدى العماه

لكل من كان يخشى الله يرجو النجاه

For all who fear Allah, hoping for salvation

I see the times have things that make life burdensome

إني أرى الوقت فيه أشيا تمل الحياه

من التهاون بأمر الله فيما تلاه

Of leniency in Allah's commands, in what He recited

And every person giving in to vain desire, his head filled

وكل شخص عطاشفه ورأسه ملاه

وتابع الشح والأهواو وكثر العكاه

And following greed and whims, and mockery multiplied

Oppression is darkness on the Day of Judgment, its recompense

فالظلم ظلمات في يوم القيامه جزاه

وسوف يندم على ما قدمته يداه

He will regret what his hands put forth

The people of usury, war is ordained for them with affliction

وأهل الربا حل حرب الله لهم مع بلاه

ولعنة الله على المربى مع شاهداه

And Allah's curse is upon the usurer along with his witnesses

And loss, ruin, bankruptcy coming soon, he will see it

والسحق والمحق والإفلاس عاجل يراه

والعار والنار في أخراه عاده وراه

And disgrace and Fire in the end following him, before him

The foundation of all sins is love of debased worldly life

ورأس كل الخطايا حب دنيا الدناه

فاسمع على سنة المختار سيد الهداه

So listen to the Sunnah of the Chosen One, master of guides

Take it in summary and detail from one who wants it

خذها بالأجمال والتفصيل من هو يشاه

عليه باحيا علوم الدين يلق مناه

Upon you - revive the religious sciences - you will attain benefit

And every sower will reap tomorrow what he planted

وكل زارع سيحصد في غد ماذراه

فمن ذرى برجاله بر أو شوك جاه

Whoever sows good or thorns comes forth

And whatever he contrives, it is on the Day of Resurrection his dress

وما يحوكه فهو يوم القيامه كساه

فلا يلم غير نفسه من وجد ماأساه

So none blames but himself for what he finds displeasing

And let him praise Allah his Lord for what He has granted him

وليحمدالله ربه من بفضله حباه

هذا مقالي وماقولي كقول النحاه

This is my speech, and my words are not like the words of grammarians

He told me, he said look at all his speech entirely

قد قال لي قال شف كل كلامه كماه

وقد تعذرت من نظمي وركة بناه

And I have failed in my composition and the arrangement of its structure

So overlook my faults, and if you wish then say what you want

فاستر عيوبي وإن شئته فقل ما تشاه

دع المقالات والقائل وخذ ماعناه

Leave off speech and speakers, and take the meaning

O Lord, O Lord, O Hearer of those who call

يارب يارب ياسامع دعا من دعاه

نسألك تختم لنا بالخير عند الوفاه

We ask You to conclude with good for us at the time of death

And be for us when we are resurrected barefoot, naked

وكن لنا عند ما نحشر حفاة عراه

وعافنا واعف عنا واعط كل رجاه

And give us well-being, and pardon us, and give all their hopes

And save us all from the pitfalls of desire

وأنقذ الكل منامن مهاوي هواه

وكل ظالم إلهي كف عنا أذاه

And every oppressor, my God, restrain his harm

And I seek forgiveness from Allah for much frivolous speech

واستغفر الله من قول كثير افتراه

يبدي أمورا ويخفى ضد ما قد بداه

That mentions matters and hides the opposite of what it has mentioned

And send peace, my Lord, and blessings morning and evening

وصل ربي وسلم بالمسا والغداه

على رسولك بي القاسم شفيع العصاه

Upon Your Messenger the intercessor for sinners

And his family, companions, and followers in emulating him

والآل والصحب والتابع لهم في اقتفاه

والحمدلله مبدا قولنا وانتهاه

And praise be to Allah, the beginning of our words and their end
