Found shelter in his formidable pillar

آوَى لِرُكْنٍ شَدِيدِ

From the Lord of the Majestic Throne

To him barefoot in humility

إِلَيْهِ شُمَّخَ بِيدِ
7. You suffice seeking virtue for
God is the Enricher, the Praiseworthy

لَ اللهِ الْمُغْنِي الْحَمِيدِ

The sea of the devout aspirant
٨. فَالْبَحْرَ زُرْنَا وَلَكِنْ
بَحْرَ النَّوَالِ الْمُرِيدِ
9. And the rain so they are in bounty
Beyond that is no increase
٩. وَالْغَيْثُ فَهُمْ بِفَضْلٍ
مَا بَعْدَهُ مِنْ مَزِيدِ
