1. لَم يَسقِكُم رَبُّكُم عَن حُسنِ فِعلِكُمُ

    وَلا حَماكُم غَماماً سوءُ أَعمالِ

    It was not for your good deeds that your Lord sent you rain,

    Nor did evil deeds deprive you of rainclouds.

  2. وَإِنَّما هِيَ أَقدارٌ مُرَتَّبَةٌ

    ما عُلِّقَت بِإِساءاتٍ وَإِجمالِ

    Rather, these are merely decrees set in order,

    Not linked to wrongdoing or good conduct.

  3. دَليلُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ الحُرَّ أَعوَزَهُ

    قوتٌ وَأَنَّ سِواهُ فازَ بِالمالِ

    The proof of this is that the noble man lacks

    Food, while someone else has gained wealth.

  4. كَم جُدَّ بِالرِزقِ ثاوٍ في مَنازِلِهِ

    وَحُدَّ سارٍ بِأَفراسٍ وَأَجمالِ

    How many a man staying in his dwellings has been favored with sustenance,

    While a traveler with horses and camels has been deprived of it!

  5. فَأَمِّلوا اللَهَ وَاِرجوا مِنهُ عاقِبَةً

    فَلَيسَ دُنياكُمُ أَهلاً لِآمالِ

    So place your hopes in God, and hope for a good outcome from Him,

    For your worldly life is not worthy of hope.

  6. دِنتُم بِأَن سَيُجازيكُم إِلَهُكُمُ

    فَما لِأَفعالِكُم أَفعالُ إِهمالِ

    You have professed belief that your God will recompense you;

    Then why are your deeds acts of neglect?
