إِرضَ بِالعَيشِ عَلى كُلِّ حالٍ

تَتَّسِع فيهِ وَإِن كانَ ضَنكا

تَتَّسِع فيهِ وَإِن كانَ ضَنكا

Be content with life in every circumstance;

Be content with living every condition;

you will find ease in it, even if it is straitened.

You will prosper even if it be narrow.

خَيرُ أَيّامِكَ إِن كُنتَ تَدري

خَيرُ أَيّامِكَ إِن كُنتَ تَدري

يَومَ تُغشى يُرتَجى الخَيرُ مِنكا

يَومَ تُغشى يُرتَجى الخَيرُ مِنكا

The best of your days, if you but knew,

The best of your days, if you but knew,

is the day you are visited in hope of good from you.

Is that in which good is hoped for from you.

إِغتَنِم حاجاً لِراجيكَ فيها

إِغتَنِم حاجاً لِراجيكَ فيها

قَبلَ أَن يُغنِيَهُ اللَهُ عَنكا

قَبلَ أَن يُغنِيَهُ اللَهُ عَنكا

Seize the chance to meet your petitioner's needs on those days,

Take advantage of one who needs you,

before God makes him independent of you.

Before God makes him needless of you.
