لا تُشعِرَنَّ النَفسَ يَأساً فَإِنَّما

لا تُشعِرَنَّ النَفسَ يَأساً فَإِنَّما

يَعيشُ بِجَدٍّ حازِمٌ وَبَليدُ

يَعيشُ بِجَدٍّ حازِمٌ وَبَليدُ

Never fill your soul with despair, for

Do not let despair overcome the soul, for

It is by good fortune that the prudent and the dull alike live.

The resolute and unwise live by effort.

وَلا تَطمَعَن في مالِ جارٍ لِقُربِهِ

وَلا تَطمَعَن في مالِ جارٍ لِقُربِهِ

فَكُلُّ قَريبٍ لا يُنالُ بَعيدُ

فَكُلُّ قَريبٍ لا يُنالُ بَعيدُ

Nor covet a neighbor's wealth because he is near,

Do not covet a neighbor’s wealth out of kinship,

For whatever is near but beyond reach is far away.

For no relative, however close, is beyond reach.

وَفَوِّض إِلى اللَهِ الأُمورَ فَإِنَّما

وَفَوِّض إِلى اللَهِ الأُمورَ فَإِنَّما

تَروحُ بِأَرزاقٍ عَلَيكِ جُدودُ

تَروحُ بِأَرزاقٍ عَلَيكِ جُدودُ

And entrust affairs to God, for

And entrust your affairs to God, for

It is good fortune that comes to you bearing sustenance.

Provisions for you come continuously.
