1. يامَن رَجَعتُ عَلى كُرهٍ لِطاعَتِهِ

    قَد خالَفَ القَلبُ لَمّا طاوَعَ البَدَنُ

    O you whom I returned unwillingly to obey,

    Indeed, the heart resisted when the body obeyed.

  2. وَكُلُّ ماشِئتَ مِن أَمرٍ رَضيتُ بِهِ

    وَكُلُّ ما اِختَرتَهُ عِندي هُوَ الحَسَنُ

    And I was content with whatever you wished in any matter,

    And whatever you chose is good in my eyes.

  3. وَكُلَّما سَرَّني أَو ساءَني سَبَبٌ

    فَأَنتَ فيهِ عَلَيَّ الدَهرَ مُؤتَمَنُ

    And whenever a circumstance gladdened or saddened me,

    Then, in that, you have my trust for all time.
