أُتْرُكِ الدُّنْيَا فَلَسْتَ تَرَى

أُتْرُكِ الدُّنْيَا فَلَسْتَ تَرَى

صَاحِباً فِي الْوُدِّ لَمْ يَخُنِ

صَاحِباً فِي الْوُدِّ لَمْ يَخُنِ

Forsake the world, for you will not find

I leave this world, and you'll no more see

A friend who has not been faithless in affection.

A friend so true who ne'er betrayed by me;

وَاجْتَنِبْ مَنْ لا تُشَاكِلُهُ

وَاجْتَنِبْ مَنْ لا تُشَاكِلُهُ

تَنْجُ مِنْ غَدْرٍ وَمِنْ غَبَنِ

تَنْجُ مِنْ غَدْرٍ وَمِنْ غَبَنِ

And avoid anyone you do not resemble;

Shun those with whom you have no rapport,

You will escape treachery and unfair dealing.

So shall you 'scape deceit forevermore.

مَنْ جَرَى فِي غَيْرِ حَلْبَتِهِ

مَنْ جَرَى فِي غَيْرِ حَلْبَتِهِ

كَانَ مَوْقُوفَاً عَلَى الظِّنَنِ

كَانَ مَوْقُوفَاً عَلَى الظِّنَنِ

Whoever runs on a racecourse not his own

Whoever strays outside their proper sphere

Will be held under suspicion.

Will be the hostage of suspicion and fear.
