يا جَميلَ الظَنِّ بِالأَي

يامِ ما أَحسَنَ ظَنَّك

O you of good thoughts of days

How wonderful your thoughts are

وَشَديدَ الأَمنِ مِن دَه

رِكَ ما أَعجَبَ أَمنَك

And strongly secure from vileness

How wondrous is your security

راقِبِ اللَهَ وَفَرّغ

لِلتُقى وَالخَيرِ ذِهنَك

Observe God and devote

Your mind to piety and good

وَدَعِ الدُنيا لِقَومٍ

قَرَعوا بِاللَومِ أُذنَك

And leave the world to people

Who have deafened your ears with blame

قَرّب الزادَ وَشَمّر

فَكَأَن لاقيتَ حِينَك

Prepare provisions and roll up your sleeves

As if you have met your appointed time
