Man’s life is only in the worship,
And this worship is the true life of the man.(475)
If you desire to achieve an emblem for your life,
The meditation upon the Almighty is the only way.(476)
Don’t try to domineer, rather toil to become a server,
And except veneration, there is nothing more to explore.(477)
This body of dust is virtuous through the adoration for the Almighty,
As, except godly reverence, rest is all dishonour.(478)
You prevail in worship to get acceptance,
Rather than adopting the criteria of the egoists and the apostates.(479)
(This worship) behoves the hearty people.
Through that worship your status is enhanced.(480)
