تَنَكَّب مَذهَبَ الهُمَجِ

تَنَكَّب مَذهَبَ الهُمَجِ

وَعُذ بِالصَبرِ تَبتَهِجِ

وَعُذ بِالصَبرِ تَبتَهِجِ

Shun the way of the rabble,

Turn away from the path of the brutes

And seek refuge in patience; you will rejoice.

And find solace in patience, you'll rejoice

فَإِنَّ مُظلّم الأَيّا

فَإِنَّ مُظلّم الأَيّا

مِ مَحجوجٌ بِلا حُجَجِ

مِ مَحجوجٌ بِلا حُجَجِ

For whoever calls the days unjust

For the oppression of days

Is refuted without arguments.

Is without argument, lacking logic

تَسامُحُنا بِلا شُكرٍ

تَسامُحُنا بِلا شُكرٍ

وَتَمَتُّعنا بِلا حَرَجِ

وَتَمَتُّعنا بِلا حَرَجِ

Our forbearance is without thanks,

We forgive without thanks

And our enjoyment without constraint.

And enjoy without shame

وَلُطفُ اللَهِ في إِتيا

وَلُطفُ اللَهِ في إِتيا

نِها فَتحٌ مِنَ اللَجَجِ

نِها فَتحٌ مِنَ اللَجَجِ

And God's kindness in their coming

God's kindness in bringing them

Is a way out of the deep waters:

Is escape from distress

فمن ضيقٍ إلى سِعَةٍ

فمن ضيقٍ إلى سِعَةٍ

ومن غَمٍ إلى فرجِ

ومن غَمٍ إلى فرجِ

So from constriction to spaciousness,

So from straitness to spaciousness

And from sorrow to relief.

And from gloom to relief
