ذرِيني وما أختارُهُ من تَصَوُّنِي

ومَصِّي ثِمَادَ الرِزْقِ غيرَ مُكَدَّرِ

Leave me be, and let me choose my own path

And reap the fruits of sustenance without toil or bitterness

فقد خِيرَ لي ملكُ القَناعةِ واستوتْ

لديَّ به حالا مُقِلٍّ ومُكْثرِ

For contentment has been decreed as my kingdom

And with it my state is the same whether living meagerly or in plenty

وزهَّدنِي بالكَدِّ علمي بأنني

خُلقتُ على ما فِيَّ غيرَ مُخَيَّرِ

My knowledge has led me to abandon hardship

For I was created as I am, without a choice

فلستُ مفيتا بالهُوينا مقدَّراً

ولا بالغاً بالكدِّ ما لم يُقَدَّرِ

I cannot exceed what is divinely ordained

Nor force through hardship what is not destined
