Sol 6.1

  1. إِذا لَم أَجِد خِلّاً تَقِيّاً فَوِحدَتي

    أَلَذُّ وَأَشهى مِن غَوِيٍّ أُعاشِرُه

    If I find no pious friend, then my solitude

    Is sweeter and more desirable than keeping company with a wayward man.

  2. وَأَجلِسُ وَحدي لِلعِبادَةِ آمِناً

    أَقَرُّ لِعَيني مِن جَليسٍ أُحاذِرُه

    And sitting alone to worship, safe,

    Is more soothing to my eye than a companion I am wary of.
