أَلاَ كُنْ فِي حَيَاتِكَ ذَا احْتِيَاطِ

عَلَى مَرْضَاةِ رَبِّكَ ذَا اغْتِبَاطِ

Be in your life one of caution

Take heed, and be ever prudent in your life,

Seeking to please your Lord in elation

And in the pleasure of your Lord, be filled with joy.

وَلاَ تُتْعِبْكَ ذِي الدُّنْيَا بِحِرْصٍ

فَذِي الدُّنْيَا مُقَطَّعَةُ النِّيَاطِ

Let not this world weary you with greed

Let not this world weary you with covetous greed,

For this world's affairs are torn to shreds

For this world severs the very cords of the heart.
