1. O Lord of provision that came from a cause
If only the servant surrendered to it his request
١. يا رُبَّ رِزقٍ قَد أَتى مِن سَبَب
لَو سَلَّمَ العَبدُ إِلَيهِ الطَلَب
2. And the Lord of he whose provision came to him
From where he does not hope nor account
٢. وَرُبَّ مَن قَد جاءَهُ رِزقُهُ
مِن حَيثُ لايَرجو وَلايَحتَسِب
3. How useful is reason for its owners
The outcome of reason is perfection of manner
٣. ما أَنفَعَ العَقلَ لِأَصحابِهِ
نَتيجَةُ العَقلِ تَمامُ الأَدَب
4. Indeed I see the deluded one whom time deluded
Due to the frequency of its overturning
٤. إِنّي أَرى المَغرورَ مَن غَرَّهُ ال
دَهرُ عَلى كَثرَةِ ما يَنقَلِب
5. The matter will not go straight except with repentance
And nothing comes except it goes
٥. ما يَستَقيمُ الأَمرُ إِلّا التَوى
وَلا يَجيءُ الشَيءُ إِلّا ذَهَب
6. And time, its wonders do not cease
In all that you pondered, it is wonder
٦. وَالدَهرُ لا تَفنى أَعاجيبُهُ
في كُلِّ ما فَكَّرتَ فيهِ عَجَب
