1. الراهِبُ المَسجونُ فَرطَ عِبادَةٍ

    مِن حُّبِّ دُنياهُ الكَذوبِ مُوَلَّهُ

    The monk, imprisoned by excessive worship,

    is crazed with love for his deceitful world.

  2. أَعَرَفتُمُ أَصحابُكُم بِحَقيقَةٍ

    أَم كُلُّكُم عَنهُم غَبيٌّ أَبلَهُ

    Have you truly known your companions,

    or are you all ignorant of them, foolish?

  3. ذَكَرَ التَأَلُّهَ فَاِدَّعوهُ تَخَرُّصاً

    ما هَذِهِ أَفعالُ مَن يَتَأَلَّهُ

    He spoke of devotion, so they claimed it baselessly;

    these are not the deeds of one who worships God.
