اِدأبْ على جمع الفضائل جاهدا

اِدأبْ على جمع الفضائل جاهدا

و أدمْ لها تَعَبَ القريحة و الجسدْ

و أدمْ لها تَعَبَ القريحة و الجسدْ

Persevere in gathering virtues, striving hard.

Strive to gather virtues diligently

And keep mind and body toiling for them.

And devote to it the toil of mind and body

و اقصد بها وجه الإله و نفع من

و اقصد بها وجه الإله و نفع من

بَلَّغْتَهُ وَ جَدَّ فيها و اجتهدْ

بَلَّغْتَهُ وَ جَدَّ فيها و اجتهدْ

And seek through them the face of God and the benefit of whomever

And aim through it the face of God and the benefit of those

you have imparted them to; pursue them earnestly and strive.

Whom you have reached and who have striven in it

و اترك كلام الحاسدينَ و بغيَهُمْ

و اترك كلام الحاسدينَ و بغيَهُمْ

هملا فبعد الموت ينقطعُ الحسدْ

هملا فبعد الموت ينقطعُ الحسدْ

And leave the words of the envious and their wrongdoing

And leave the talk of envious ones and their hatred

unheeded, for after death envy ceases.

Neglect it, for after death, envy is cut off
