1. الرِزقُ يَأتي وَإِن لَم يَسعَ صاحِبُهُ

    حَتماً وَلكِن شَقاءُ المَرءِ مَكتوبُ

    Sustenance comes, even if its recipient does not strive,

    Inevitably—yet a person's suffering is decreed.

  2. وَفي القَناعَةِ كَنزٌ لا نَفادَ لَهُ

    وَكُلُّ ما يَملِكُ الإِنسانُ مَسلوبُ

    And in contentment lies a treasure that never runs out,

    And all that a person owns will be taken away.
