يا طالبا جنة الدنيا وراحتها

فاسمع وأنصت لاخباري وأقوالي

O seeker of the paradise of this world and its comfort

Listen and pay attention to my news and my words

على الرضا بقضاء الله خالقنا

في كل من كان من مر ومن حالي

On being content with the decree of Allah, our Creator

In everyone who was from the past and the present

فلا ترد غير ما المولى أراد ولا

تسخط لشيء قضاه المالك الوالي

So do not refuse anything but what the Master wanted, nor

Be angry at anything his decree, the Exalted King

فإنما أنت عبدوالإله لنا

رب ومالك للحال والمال

You are only a servant, and Allah is our

Lord and Owner of the state and wealth

فالزم لطاته واشكر لنعمته

واصبر لنقمته في حال أو مال

So stick to His grace, and thank Him for His bounty

And be patient with His vengeance, whether in ease or hardship

وأحسن الظن بالمولى يكون كما

ظننت فاسمع حديثا مسندا عالي

And think good thoughts of the Master, it will be as

You thought, so listen to an eminent hadith

واحذر وإياك انكارا على ملك

في ملكه فعله عدل على عالي

And beware, beware of denying the King

His kingdom, His just deed on the Sublime

وطهر القلب من غير الإله ولا

تبق سوى الله في سرو في بالي

And purify the heart from other than Allah and do not

Leave anything but Allah in secret or in my mind

ولازم الذكر لله الكريم ولا

تدخل مع الناس في قيل وفي قال

And adhere to the mention of the Bountiful Allah and do not

Enter with the people in saying and words

فالأنس بالناس إفلاس وآخره

كرب فكن لهم يا صاحبي قالي

For the intimacy with people is bankruptcy, and its end

Is distress, so my friend, be aloof from them

والذكر لله باق لانفاد له

فاعكف عليه بابكار وآصال

And the mention of Allah remains endless

So devote yourself to it openly and in private

واطلب من الله ما تحتاج منه ولا

تسأل سوى الله جل الحافظ الكالي

And seek from Allah what you need from Him and do not

Ask anyone other than Allah, Majestic, All-Sustaining

وكن حليف التقى والعلم فاعن به

والعلم بوباخلاص وأعمال

And be an ally of piety and knowledge, so help through it

And know, with sincerity and deeds

واحذر وإياك من دنيا تزول ولا

تبقى بحال وتدهوك بأهوال

And beware, beware of a vanishing world, it will not

Remain in any state, and it will shock you with terrors

وتحجبنك عن دار النعيم وعن

كل جمال وإحسان وأفصال

And veil you from the Abode of Bliss and from

All beauty and benevolence and separation

يا رب ياحي يا قيوم ياصمد

وفق وسدد وكن لي عند ترحالي

O Lord, O Living, O Self-Subsisting, O Eternal

Facilitate and guide right and be for me at my passage

وصل ربي وسلم دائماً أبدا

على النبي المخفف كل أثقال

And bless, my Lord, and greet everlastingly

The relieved Prophet from all burdens

والآل والصحب ثم التابعين لهم

على الخلائق ماضيهم مع التالي

And his Family and Companions, then those who followed them

Upon all creatures, their past and future
