1. Sing of the Creator instead of the created
And sing of the Truthful instead of the liar
١. أَغنِ عَنِ المَخلوقِ بِالخالِقِ
وَاغنِ عَنِ الكاذِبِ بِالصادِقِ
2. And seek your provision from the Most Merciful
For none but Allah provides sustenance
٢. وَاَستَرزِقِ الرَحمنَ مِن فَضلِهِ
فَلَيسَ غَير اللَهِ مِن رازِقِ
3. He who thinks provision is in his hands
Does not have firm faith in the Most Merciful
٣. مَن ظَنَّ أَن الرِزقَ في كَفِّهِ
فَلَيسَ بِالرَحمَنِ بِالواثِقِ
4. Or thinks people will make him wealthy
His slippers will slip off the cobbler
٤. أَو ظَنَّ أَنَّ الناسَ يُغنونَهُ
زَلَّت بِهِ النَعلانِ مِن حالِقِ
