يا خائِضَ البَحرِ الذي قَد طَمَت

مِنَ المَعاصي فيهِ أَمواجُ

O you who is sailing the sea, which is filled

With waves of disobedience,

تَزَوَّجِ التَقوى وَدَع كُلَّ مَن

لَهُ مِنَ الآثامِ أَزواجُ

Marry righteousness, and leave everyone who

Has pairs of sins.

فَالعَقلُ لا يوجِبُ إِسخاطَ مَن

إِلَيهِ حاجاتِكَ تَحتاجُ

For reason does not require angering He

Whom your needs depend on.
