1. Remember your promised day, remembrance is best
Forget not the morning of the gathering
١. اِذكُر مَعادَكَ أَفضَلَ الذِكرِ
لا تَنسَ يَومَ صَبيحَةِ الحَشرِ
2. The day of honor for those who patiently endured
And good lies in the outcomes of patience
٢. يَومَ الكَرامَةِ لِلأُلى صَبَروا
وَالخَيرُ عِندَ عَواقِبِ الصَبرِ
3. In all their souls delight
Rivers flow beneath them
٣. في كُلِّ ما تَلتَذُّ أَنفُسُهُم
أَنهارُهُم مِن تَحتِهِم تَجري
4. Oh brother, is not the life vast enough
For hopes to surge wildly in your chest?
٤. أَأُخَيَّ ما الدُنيا بِواسِعَةٍ
لِمُنىً تَلَجلَجُ مِنكَ في الصَدرِ
5. You find rest from stages into expanse
And flee from poverty into poverty
٥. تَرتاحُ مِن عِبَرٍ إِلى سِعَةٍ
وَتَفِرُّ مِن فَقرٍ إِلى فَقرِ
6. I began like the thirsty, seeking
The family in the barren everlastingness
٦. وَطَفِقتُ كَالظَمآنِ مُلتَمِساً
لِلآلِ في الدَيمومَةِ القَفرِ
7. You seek deliverance without its source
To attain ease of spirit through hardship
٧. تَبغي الخَلاصَ بِغَيرِ مَأخَذِهِ
لِتَنالَ رَوحَ اليُسرِ بِالعُسرِ
8. You have played much in seeking wealth
Your wealth being content with fate
٨. أَكثَرتَ في طَلَبِ الغِنى لَعِباً
وَغِناكَ أَن تَرضى عَنِ الدَهرِ
9. And good wealth is what you earn
What lies with God of treasure
٩. وَالخَيرُ مالٍ أَنتَ كاسِبُهُ
ما كانَ عِندَ اللَهِ مِن ذُخرِ
