1. سَهِّلْ حجابك أيها المحجوبُ

    واعلمْ بأنَّ النائبات تَنوبُ

    Make access to you easy, O secluded one;

    And know that misfortunes come in turn.

  2. وتَلقَّ إنعامَ الإله بشكرهِ

    فأخو الجحودِ مُنَغَّصٌ مسلوبُ

    And receive God's bounty with thanks to Him,

    For the ungrateful man is troubled and bereft.

  3. لا ترضينَّ لمن أتاك بضدِّ ما

    ترضى لنفسك إنَّ ذلك حُوبُ

    Never accept for one who comes to you the opposite of what

    You accept for yourself; that is indeed a sin.

  4. وتَوقَّ ذمَّك إنَّ ما خُوِّلتَهُ

    كطلوع شمسٍ حان منهُ غروبُ

    And beware of being censured, for what you have been granted

    Is like the rising of a sun whose setting is at hand.
