1. He who shows mercy, though his strength allows him to punish, is the best of men.
Generosity poured from him, freely given.
١. من كان يبطش بالرحمنِ فهو فتى
كان التكرُّم هجيراً له فعلا
2. Ask him, as he gives and takes this mortal world:
His hands do only as the Lord's hands have done.
٢. فاسأله إذ يقبض الدنيا ويبسطها
يداك تفعل كما ربكم فعلا
