Worship is virtuous with a sincere intention

Otherwise, what comes of skin without mind?

What use is a girdle of mind or a robe

If worn merely for the thoughts of others?

I have told you, reveal not your manliness openly

If you show manhood, do not act effeminately.

One should show only as much as they possess

Those who possess yet do not show feel no shame.

When borrowed, they will be removed from him

And an old garment will appear on him.

Do not tie a short wooden leg

To appear tall in the eyes of children.

And if it is coated with silver, it is still brass

One can spend on an unknown.

Do not waste my soul on worthless gold

For a wise moneychanger accepts nothing for it.

Those gilded will be sent to the fire

To show whether they are brass or gold.

Do you not know what the father of the mountain said

To the man who did not sleep through the night for honor?

Go, my dear, in the folds of sincerity

For you cannot escape from mankind in any way.

Those whose actions are admired

Have yet to see your inner essence revealed.

How much the servant has brought of worth

When beneath his cloak lies a body of shame?

One should not seek to enter heaven with their hands

For your ugly veil shall be lifted.
