من لي بمن أرتضيه

من لي بمن أرتضيه

في كلِّ ما أمضيهِ

في كلِّ ما أمضيهِ

Who can find me one whom I approve of

Who will find me one I approve of

in everything I carry through,

in all that I carry out,

مما أراه سَداداً

مما أراه سَداداً

والحبُّ لا يقتضيه

والحبُّ لا يقتضيه

among the things I deem right—

of what I deem right,

though love does not demand it?

though love does not demand it?

فشأنه الأمر فينا

فشأنه الأمر فينا

وحبُّنا يمضيه

وحبُّنا يمضيه

For love’s role among us is to command,

For His prerogative is to command us,

and our love carries its command through.

and our love carries it out.

سبحانه وتعالى

في كلِّما يقضيه

Glory be to Him, and exalted is He

Glory be to Him, and exalted is He

in all that He decrees.

فكلُّ ما جاء منه

فكلُّ ما جاء منه

هو الذي أرتضيه

هو الذي أرتضيه

For everything that has come from Him

So all that comes from Him

is precisely what I accept.

is what I approve of.
