سَعِ النَّاسَ بِوَجْهِكَ
Meet people with a broad face,
وَمَجْلِسِكَ
allow them free audience
وَحُكْمِكَ،
and pass generous orders.
وإِيَّاكَ وَالْغَضَبَ
Avoid anger
فَإِنَّهُ طَيْرَةٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ.
because it is an augury of Satan.
وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ مَا قَرَّبَكَ مِنَ اللهِ يُبَاعِدُكَ مِنْ النَّارِ،
Remember that whatever takes you near Allah takes you away from the Fire (of Hell),
وَمَا بَاعَدَكَ مِنَ اللهِ يُقَرِّبُكَ مِنَ النَّارِ.
and whatever takes you away from Allah takes you near the Fire.
