1. Rise above the sons of the lowly world and return
To be people from the remnant of the tribe of Aad

2. And do not let the steed of wisdom wander
To the racetrack of virtues being unusual

3. And if the ignorant want to oppress you, then be patient
For oppression is the fate of each ordinary one

4. And do not be, O pure in honor, accompany
A lowly world whose harm to you is most vile

5. For betrayal is the nature of the lowest
And deceit is the habit of the foolish

6. You knew the sons of time so do not hope
For goodness from them that misleads from guidance

7. To how long, O resident among a people
Who wanted my disappointment and sought my defiance

8. And they are worse for my most beautiful friendship
Than locusts on it and grasshoppers

9. And the life of the forbearing in a land of fools
Who prepared ignorance as provision for the return

10. And why should I blame myself among people
More harmful to the sick than vertigo

11. I knew the sons of time so I have for them
No affection to give them my affection

12. So they have no deceit about me in secret
Nor any confidentiality with me in the wilderness

13. So O self, sever the tie of intimacy
For it suffices you neither to plot nor to scheme

14. If time criticized its sons for their actions
It would not cultivate the excellence of my criticism

15. And my soul has the stance of humiliation it refuses
And if it was raised over the ferocious predators

16. You see the despicable refuses the greatest obligation
And his mounting of the bridle is the best conviction

17. Why do the narrow valleys of my people constrict me
While God's earth is vast with resting places

18. I will move my home away from their dwellings
And take my lands away from their lands

19. And I roam the wilderness without a companion
Except the beasts of the deer and ibex

20. And I relieve with the wanderer every sorrow
As I wander without water and provision

21. Knowing that with God is my provision
And God's door is the watering place of every seeker

22. And whoever seeks glories and sublimities
Will passionately love them in every valley

23. So if he spends the nights awake for reaching them
And his eyelids forego the years of sleep

24. Then the past time is not regained
And what is gone from it is not attained
