خَلِّ الهَوَى وأهلَهُ

وخذْ طَريقَ من سَلَكْ

Leave passion and its people alone,

And take the path of those who have trodden it before.

فسالِكُ الطَّريقِ مأْ

مونٌ ومن حادَ هَلَكْ

For the walker on the path is secure,

While one who strays from it is lost.

رَبُّكَ بالعقلِ على ال

خَلْقِ الكَثيرِ فضَّلَكْ

Your Lord has favored you above the rest

Of creation with reason and intellect.

فرُحْ إليه خاشِعاً

واقْصُرْ عليهِ أَمَلَكْ

So come to Him in humility,

And limit your hopes to Him alone.

أَنْتَ لهُ مِلْكٌ فكُنْ

رَهناً لأَمرِ من مَلَكْ

You belong to Him, so be

Obedient to the One who owns you.
