(The poet advises the seeker:) "It would be better if you bester yourself and tether him. Else if you let him loose, he would simply roam about". At present when you offer him his usual feed, he merely turns away. Hence better load him with some baggage. Apply shackles to his fore-feet in a way that he can graze and grunt.

Note:(1) As a guide the poet suggests that the ‘nafs should be completely chastened into submission. If allowed undue liberty of action, it will go astray and be entangled in the worldly meshes. Besides it should be forced to discharge all its obligations prescribed by Allah! But since monasticism is prohibited in Islam, the ‘nafs’ should be allowed the normal and authorised pleasures of the world including food and sex.
The body is to serve the purpose of a camel to an intending seeker, who should certainly look after him to maintain him in a healthy condition. (lmam Ghazali).

Rise, shackle your camel well, if let loose he will roam.
He sulkier grows before his meal, burden it then.

Tether your camel if free he will loaf about,
When offered feed he turns away, better put some heavy stack on him,
Tie him with strong ropes o that he may graze and groan.
