1. سَلَّمِ الأمْرَ إِلى مالِكهِ

    واهْجُرِ الهَمَّ لهُ والحَزَنا

    Entrust the matter to its master,

    and abandon worry over it and sorrow.

  2. ليس يحْوي لكَ ما تَطْلبهُ

    شِدَّةُ الحِرْصِ ولا طولُ العَنا

    What you seek is not secured for you

    by intense eagerness or prolonged toil.

  3. فالذي يمْلِكهُ ذو قُدْرةٍ

    يجعلُ العجزَ طَريقاً للغِنى

    For the one who possesses it has power;

    he makes helplessness a path to wealth.
