Banyak kesenangan dan kebaikan yang telah aku rasakan,
tetapi tidak ada yang lebih baik dan lebih menyenangkan daripada hidup dalam keadaan sihat walafiat

Banyak pula kepahitan hidup yang telah aku rasakan,
tetapi tidak ada yang lebih pahit daripada hidup mengharapkan pertolongan orang lain

Aku pun sering mengangkat besi dan batu yang serba berat,
tetapi tidak ada yang lebih berat daripada kewajipan menjunjung tinggi agama

Anakku, apabila engkau berjiran dengan orang lain,
hendaklah engkau menundukkan pandangan matamu jangan sampai melihat isteri-isteri mereka

Berbuat baiklah dengan orang yang berbuat jahat kepadamu

Berbudilah kepada orang lain,
maka engkau pasti memetik hasil yang banyak

Banyaklah bergaul dengan orang-orang yang arif dan berilmu

Hendaklah engkau selalu ingat kepada Allah siang dan malam (yakni setiap waktu)
dan ucapkanlah selawat sebanyak-banyaknya bagi kesejahteraan Nabi pilihan Allah (Rasulullah saw)

Dalam hal keduniaan, lihatlah orang-orang yang berada dibawahmu (orang-orang yang lebih susah darimu) dan dalam hal keagamaan, lihatlah orang yang berada di atasmu, 

Dengan demikian hati engkau tidak curiga sekiranya engkau tidak memiliki apa-apa harta tetapi bimbang jika amal ibadahmu sedikit. Nescaya engkau akan jadi orang yang beruntung mendapat kebahagian di dunia dan di akhirat.
