1. May God reward afflictions with all good
They have taught us beneficial knowledge

2. Knowledge we did not find in a book
And I did not attain with the trusted ones

3. Of detachment from family, wealth
And homeland and from this life

4. So how much blessing lies within trials
And how much is hidden within dispersal

5. And how much happiness is tied to poverty
And how much wealth brings perdition

6. And how much safety lies in the midst of fear
And attainment comes through loss

7. And how much honor lies in the belly of disgrace
And how afflictions bring gifts

8. Hope that you may hate a thing and in it
Is good for you, as in the clear verses

9. And for the content therein is great reward
And give glad tidings to the patient with prayers

10. For him from his Lord and guidance and mercy
As recited in the text of the clear verses

11. And do not resent the decree of God, lest you
Throw yourself into God's wrath, O misguided one

12. And God's command proceeds whether you wish or not
And you possess nothing but regrets

13. And abundant blame and loss of reward
So none accept this but the wretched

14. And God's gardens have been surrounded
With hated things and leaving desires

15. And God's fire has been surrounded by every
Kind of tempting, distracting desires

16. So sorrows in this abode except
To leave them and work for requitals

17. And in deprivation and needs lies a great secret
Raising the ranks

18. They are festivals carrying their bearers
To sincerity of appeal in supplications

19. So how many virtues has tribulation concealed
Beautiful, precious ones

20. That lead us to the Generous Lord
And forbid transient matters

21. And make us inherit submission and humility
And leaving condemned affairs

22. So surrender to God my brother and delegate
And be a servant who attains prayers

23. For the servant has no choice
And no control over provisions

24. And he has no part in planning
And wants nothing but what comes

25. And his ambition is worship and servitude
By perfecting servitude steadfastly

26. Behold, God is Merciful to us
Beneficent to us in everything that comes

27. For one who knows, who understands and comprehends
Who understands how to solve problems

28. For one who thinks well of God in conjectures
And delegates at quandaries

29. He sees good in every deed
And accepts what befalls with rectitude

30. He rolls up his sleeves to please God most High
By doing righteous lasting deeds

31. Behold, hearts have hardened and died
So they neither humble nor heed admonitions

32. Whether I speak or not say anything
Like those set in their ways, haughty

33. But to remember and make amends
For the remaining fleeting moments

34. Quickly, quickly before a state arrives
The eloquent have failed to describe

35. Behold, one who wants safety
Finds it in reticence and silence

36. And leaving people and passing fancies
And leaving novelties and frivolities

37. Behold, is there a listening, discerning, wise one
Who responds quickly without procrastination

38. Who deliberates on matters and what's behind them
And strives for salvation and deliverance

39. My God, O Tremendous in Bounty, O You unto Whom
I flee at tribulations

40. I asked You to fulfill all my needs
And grant me all requests

41. And seal me with good at my death
And protect me from all places of refuge

42. And pardon, my Master, please and bounty
And forgive heinous sins

43. For I have none but Your bounty to help me
To You I turn in dire straits

44. And be for me, my Master, in every state
And guide me to redeeming affairs

45. For the sake of al-Mustafa, best of creation
Muhammad the intercessor for sinners

46. The Messenger of God, possessor of blessing from whom
Clear signs and miracles have come

47. May God bless and salute him
And bless all his words

48. The same upon his Family and Companions, we hope
That mentioning them brings down mercy

49. And to God most Generous is the fullest praise
For tremendous overwhelming favors

50. So we cannot adequately thank God
Exalted above attributes of the originated
