O Sulayman, you have neglected the morning prayer
O Solomon, you left the dawn prayer
O Sulayman, you have abandoned the dawn prayer,

Until you saw the sun's horn
Until you saw the horn of the sun,

Who sold the ornaments of guidance cheaply
And who sold the ornaments of guidance for a paltry price.
