الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ قَد أَصبَحتُ في دَعَةٍ

أَرضى القَليلَ وَلا أَهتَمُّ بِالقوتِ

Praise be to Allah, I have attained tranquility,

I am content with little and do not worry about livelihood,

وَشاهِدٌ خالِقي أَنَّ الصَلاةَ لَهُ

أَجَلُّ عِندِيَ مِن دُرّي وَياقوتي

And my Creator knows that prayer to Him

Is more precious to me than my pearls and rubies,

وَلا أُعاشِرُ أَهلَ العَصرِ إِنَّهُمُ

إِن عوشِروا بَينَ مَحبوبٍ وَمَمقوتِ

I do not socialize with people of this age, for they are

Whether associated with a beloved or hated one,

يَسيرُ بي وَبِغَيري الوَقتُ مُبتَدِراً

إِلى مَحَلٍّ مِنَ الآجالِ مَوقوتِ

Time passes me and others swiftly

To an appointed term of life.
