دِنْ بالتَّواضُع والإخباتِ مُحتَسِباً

تَفُقْ علاءً عَلى أهلِ السِّياداتِ

Adhere to humility and humble submission, seeking God's reward;

Be humble and meek, hoping for reward,

you will surpass in eminence those of high station.

And you will surpass the masters of high station.

فالتُّربُ لَمَّا غَدا للرِّجلِ مُتَّطئاً

فالتُّربُ لَمَّا غَدا للرِّجلِ مُتَّطئاً

تَمسَّحَ النَّاسُ مِنهُ فِي العِباداتِ

تَمسَّحَ النَّاسُ مِنهُ فِي العِباداتِ

For when dust came to be trodden underfoot,

For when the dust became a carpet for the feet,

people rubbed themselves with it in acts of worship.

People sought blessing from it in their devotions.
