فقيها وصوفيا فكن ليس واحدا فإني وحق الله إياك أنصح
فذلك قاس لم يذق قلبه تقى
Faqihan wa-Sufiyyan fakun laysa wahidan
fa inni wa-haqqiLLahi iyyaka ansahu
Fadhalika qasin lam yadhuq qalbuhu tuqan
wahadha jahulun kayfa dhul-jahli yasluhu
Be both a person of jurisprudence and tasawwuf – never just one of the two.
Truly, by the Divine Right, I am advising you sincerely!
For the former is hardened, his heart tastes no awarness of Allah,
While the latter is ignorant, and of what use are the ignorant?
