إذا حارَ أمرُكَ في مَعْنَيَيْن *** ولم تدرِ فيما الخطا و الصواب
فخَالِفْ هَوَاكَ فإنَّ الهوَى *** يقودُ النفوسَ إلى ما يعاب
If you are caught in confusion between two matters,
And you don’t know what is right and what is wrong.
At that point, disobey your desires; for indeed desires,
Only lead the soul to what is blameworthy and wrong.
ما حك جلدك مثل ظفرك *** فتول أنت جميع أمـرك
وإذا قصـدت لـحاجـةٍ *** فاقصد لمعترفٍ بفضلك
Nothing can scratch your skin quite like your own nails,
So take care of all your affairs by yourself.
And if you must seek help for some of your needs,
Then seek out a person who knows well your virtue.
فنسيان ذكر الله موت قلوبهم**** واجسامهم قبل القبور قبور
Forgetting the remembrance of Allah is a death to their hearts
And their bodies are the graves before graves
