If a servant feels jealousy on God's behalf, having seen
When a servant despairs of God, having seen
bounty from God bestowed on an unbeliever,
Blessings bestowed on the unfaithful,

against his will—and God knows his state—
Despite his complaints, God knows his affairs well,
and God is not unjust concerning what the servant intends.
And God does no injustice in His intentions for His servant.

And habits veil him, since their rule
When customs veil understanding, their rule
was running its course at his door, while the Real is not manifest.
Flows unchecked though truth stays hidden.

He punishes him with the grave in a land of estrangement,
So God punishes him with a lonely grave
by day and by night, while the Guardian conceals.
In foreign lands, day and night, while the Almighty conceals him.
