إلَى مَتَى ذَا الهَمُّ والغَمُّ

إلَى مَتَى ذَا الهَمُّ والغَمُّ

أمِثْلُ ذَا يُوجِبُهُ الحِلْمُ

أمِثْلُ ذَا يُوجِبُهُ الحِلْمُ

How long will this worry and grief last?

Until when, O heavy with woe

Does wisdom call for anything like this?

Should one so wise bear patiently?

وأَنْتَ عَبْدٌ تَحْتَ حُكْمِ القَضا

وأَنْتَ عَبْدٌ تَحْتَ حُكْمِ القَضا

لَيْسَ لَهُ في نَفْسِهِ حُكْمُ

لَيْسَ لَهُ في نَفْسِهِ حُكْمُ

And you are a servant under the rule of divine decree,

You but a slave, by fate controlled,

who has no authority over himself.

Of your own self, are not the lord

فَفَوِّضِ الأَمْرَ وكُنْ واثِقاً

فَفَوِّضِ الأَمْرَ وكُنْ واثِقاً

بِمَنْ لَهُ التَّدْبِيرُ والعِلْمُ

بِمَنْ لَهُ التَّدْبِيرُ والعِلْمُ

So entrust the matter, and be confident

So trust your fate; be well-assured;

in Him to whom belong governance and knowledge.

He knows and orders all.
