وَكَم لِلّهِ مِن لُطفٍ خَفيٍّ

وَكَم لِلّهِ مِن لُطفٍ خَفيٍّ

يَدِقُّ خَفاهُ عَن فَهمِ الذَكيِّ

يَدِقُّ خَفاهُ عَن فَهمِ الذَكيِّ

And how many are God's hidden kindnesses,

How much hidden grace God has,

How much hidden grace belongs to God,

Their hidden nature too subtle for the astute to grasp.

Whose subtlety eludes the minds of the astute.

Whose subtlety eludes the comprehension of the intelligent,

وَكَم يُسرٍ أَتى مِن بَعدِ عُسرٍ

وَكَم يُسرٍ أَتى مِن بَعدِ عُسرٍ

فَفَرَّجَ كُرْبَة القَلْبِ الشَجيِّ

فَفَرَّجَ كُرْبَة القَلْبِ الشَجيِّ

And how much ease has come after hardship,

How much ease came after hardship,

And how much ease has come after hardship,

And so relieved the anguish of the sorrowful heart.

Relieving the sorrow of the aching heart.

Relieving the distress of the sorrow-stricken heart.

وَكَم أَمرٍ تُساءُ بِهِ صَباحاً

وَكَم أَمرٍ تُساءُ بِهِ صَباحاً

وَتَأتيكَ المَسَرَّةُ بِالعَشيِّ

وَتَأتيكَ المَسَرَّةُ بِالعَشيِّ

And how often something saddens you in the morning,

How often you grieve in the morning over something

And how many matters grieve you in the morning,

And joy comes to you in the evening.

Yet joy comes to you by evening.

Yet joy comes to you by the evening.

إِذا ضاقَت بِكَ الأَحوالُ يَوماً

إِذا ضاقَت بِكَ الأَحوالُ يَوماً

فَثِق بِالواحِدِ الفَردِ العَلِيِّ

فَثِق بِالواحِدِ الفَردِ العَلِيِّ

If circumstances close in on you one day,

If circumstances constrict you one day,

If one day circumstances close in upon you,

Then trust in the One, the Unique, the Most High.

Then trust in the One, the Unique, the Exalted.

Then trust in the One, the Unique, the Most High.

وَلا تَجزَع إِذا ما نابَ خَطبٌ

وَلا تَجزَع إِذا ما نابَ خَطبٌ

فَكَم لِلّهِ مِن لُطفٍ خَفيِّ

فَكَم لِلّهِ مِن لُطفٍ خَفيِّ

And do not lose heart when a calamity strikes,

Do not despair if some matter goes wrong,

And do not despair if a calamity befalls,

For how many are God's hidden kindnesses!

For God has much hidden grace.

For how much hidden grace belongs to God.
