  O sleepy head! 
Do not make haste for bed 
But after Salatul Isha 
Crave for even more Thawab (Reward) 
And stand with me for a night prayer 

O sleepy eyes! 
Do not fail to realize 
As your lids start to close 
Your last breath may be near-just suppose! 
Better then, to stand for the night prayer 

O sleepy soul! 
What burdens do you hold? 
This longing for respite 
To sleep all through the night 
Your night prayer will revive you untold 

O weary self! 
You are bestowed with good health 
You are passing through life 
With wealth and keen sight
Owe Allaah a little thanks then this night 

O supple bed and carrier! 
You stand as a barrier 
Between me and my Lord 
Your comfort stirs discord 
Do not kindle your warm welcome for me! 

I have preferred the hard floor 
Therein lies comfort much more 
On the dust hard ground 
Allaah’s Nearness is found
How blessed is the nightly prostration!
