واصبر نفسك مع الذين يدعون ربهم بالغداة والعشي يريدون وجهه ولا تعد عيناك عنهم تريد زينة الحياة الدنيا ولا تطع من اغفلنا قلبه عن ذكرنا واتبع هواه وكان امره فرطا

And keep thy soul content With those who call On their Lord morning And evening, seeking His Face; and let not Thine eyes pass beyond them, Seeking the pomp and glitter Of this Life; nor obey Any whose heart We Have permitted to neglect The remembrance of Us, One who follows his own Desires, whose case has Gone beyond all bounds.
