لهُfor him آمِرٌone who commands بالرُّشدِto right conduct فيin يقظَاتِهhis waking hours
لهُ آمِرٌ بالرُّشدِ في يقظَاتِه
وفيand in النَّومِsleep يَهديهِguides him لَخيرِto the best of الطَّرائقِpaths
وفي النَّومِ يَهديهِ لَخيرِ الطَّرائقِ
He has one who bids him act rightly in his waking hours,
He has a guide to virtue when awake
And in sleep guides him to the best of paths.
And dreams reveal the noblest paths to take
فإنْso if قامَhe rises لمnot يدأَبْhe strives لِغَيرِfor anything other than فَضيلَةٍvirtue
فإنْ قامَ لم يدأَبْ لِغَيرِ فَضيلَةٍ
وإنْand if نامَhe sleeps لمnot يحلُمْhe dreams بغَيرِof anything other than الحقَائقِtruths
وإنْ نامَ لم يحلُمْ بغَيرِ الحقَائقِ
So if he rises, he strives for nothing but virtue,
If he arises it is for righteous acts
And if he sleeps, he dreams of nothing but truths.
If he sleeps no dreams but truth he facts
