Renounce favorite creations,
From people and chat in the world,
Renounce worldly lusts,
Think of the day and pray at evening.
If your spirit burns restlessly,
Inspiration was distilled off.
Only a single wisdom worthy
Go to the inevitable night.
On the ground, do not recognize awards.
Spirit clear before God's face,
burns, leaving the lamp,
Lonely and true fire.
