That heals all the debilitating diseases within me.

Eliphilisa zonke izifo ezibuhlungu ngaphakathi kum.

O friend, don’t be anxious and irritated,

O mhlobo, musa ukukhathazeka nokucaphuka,

and submit to the decrees so you are praised and rewarded.

kwaye uzithobe kwizigqibo ukuze udunyiswe kwaye uvuzwe.

And be content with what the Lord decrees and manages,

Kwaye waneliseke yile nto iNkosi iyalelayo kwaye ilawula,

and do not resent the decree of Allah, the Lord of the Greatest Throne.

kwaye ungabi nomona ngesigqibo sikaAllah, uMlawuli weSihlalo esikhulu.

And be patient and grateful

Kwaye ube nomonde kwaye ube nombulelo

You will be successful and triumphant

Uya kuphumelela kwaye uphumelele

And of the people of secrets

Kwaye ube phakathi kwabantu beemfihlelo

The People of Allah, the possessors of luminous hearts,

Abantu bakaAllah, abanentliziyo ezikhanyayo,

cleansed of all filth, pure and unpolluted.

bahlambulukile kuyo yonke inkunkuma, bahlambulukile kwaye abacaphukisi.

And this lowly world: its misfortunes are many,

Kwaye eli hlabathi eliphantsi: iintlekele zalo zininzi,

its life is petty, and its time is short.

ubomi balo abunamsebenzi, kwaye ixesha lalo lifutshane.

Only someone whose inner-sight is blind seeks it,

Kodwa kuphela umntu onombono ongaphakathi oyimfama oyifunayo,

his intellect is nonexistent, had he used his intellect he would be more reflective.

ubukrelekrele bakhe abukho, ukuba wayesebenzisa ubukrelekrele bakhe wayeza kuba ngowokucinga ngakumbi.

He would reflect on its perishing

Wayeya kucinga ngokutshabalala kwalo

And the abundance of its difficulties

Kunye nobuninzi bobunzima bayo

And how little wealth amounts to

Kwaye indlela ubutyebi obuncinci obufikelela kuyo

So fortunate and happy is he who’s wary of it,

Ke unethamsanqa kwaye wonwabile ngulowo ulumkileyo kuyo,
