There are three degrees of bliss / At the foot of Allah's Throne, / And the highest place is his / Who saves a brother's soul / At peril of his own. / There is the Power made known!
There are three degrees of bliss / In the Gardens of Paradise, / And the second place is his / Who saves his brother's soul / By excellent advice. / For there the Glory lies!
There are three degrees of bliss / And three abodes of the Blest, / And the lowest place is his / Who has saved a soul by a jest / And a brother's soul in sport. / But there do the Angels resort!
